No words of wisdom can define your pain during this time. My grannson took his life just before his 21 birthday four years ago. A mans son told me his father took his life and its more of a brain disease than one can cope with. I pray for for your thoughts to be calm and noone is to judge or ble your son.
Mr Jones my deepest condolences. There are no words
