Not true, in my opinion. My husband's suicide almost destroyed me.
@OwlInASack Thank you for your kind thoughts. Yes, I went to grief therapy, and it really helped. I miss Bob, but I remember the good things now.
I really have a fuller understanding about how suicide affects those around you.
Thank goodness, it no longer dominates my life. I am now retired, and life is good.
@OwlInASack Actually, I no longer grieve; I have accepted it. That doesn't mean I like it, but just that I can't make it "go away". It happened; I loved him and I miss him. I won't let it dominate my life.
