We had a wonderful last week surprising boyfriend with a visit from his brother and sister-in-law from Colorado..
I took him out for a day of fun at the horse track/casino/dining.
His family surprised him by showing up there.
Boyfriend cried he was so happy to see them.
We had a week of activity and fun with them including a wonderful fireworks show in our backyard. It was awesome.
I'm grateful for the great time.
On the morning our company left we received the news that boyfriends oldest son took his own life.
We talked to him on the phone the evening of.........everything seemed to be OK......
Boyfriend left for Colorado today. I'm staying back because daughter is having surgery that can't be postponed...and because I'm too afraid to fly. No need to beat me up for staying behind. I'm doing that myself.
My heart aches for boyfriend.
I'm back and forth between being so angry at his son for doing this, regret for not seeing any signs that he would do this, and sadness for what he must have been going through.

I am so very sorry for both your boyfriend and you. Suicide is such a horrendous act that not only ends an individual life, but irrevocably changes families. In my own extended family, there have been two suicides. The pain remains very real and tangible even decades later.
Please do not berate yourself about not being able to go with your boyfriend. It is understandable. He will need your strength when he returns.
