I like to keep up with the new Haikus. There are three new ones by Shawn and he is obviously agonising over his loss of Richard, possibly through death. I hope I am not overreacting or reading too much into them, but could they be a prelude to a suicide attempt? Perhaps someone out there can help Shawn. Unfortunately I'm not the right person with the right skills.

Hugs

If I did not know Shawn and what he has been through with determination to live I would agree.

It is for him to say what Robert meant to him.

Shawn is not suicidal. But he is deeply moved and saddeneed by Robert;s death

I am shattered by Richard's death. I will never be the same. But, Timmy is right, I would never attempt suicide. I am trying to cope with my grief as best as I can, some days are better than others.

I still cry myself to sleep but I don't cry in the Mall and grocery store very often, so I know I'm doing better.

Richard and I survived a long illness together, except he didn't, survive it, he was supposed to, but he didn't.
