AboutLynne Luckett Expertise I can answer questions about surviving suicide, about losing a family member to suicide and how to heal the hole that is left behind by a loved one committing suicide.
Experience My father committed suicide when I was 8 years old. It took me 13 years to even start dealing with his death but once the healing started it was truly an educational experience. I know now that he is with me all the time and though his physical self is no longer here, his spirtual self lives on in me and my son. I'm now 49 and have talked to several people about losing a loved one to suicide and have received some positive feedback about my advice. I am a medical transcripitionist and have been in the medical field for 20+ years. I feel I survived my dad's death to have the understanding to be able to help others. I love to help others.

Answer Quentin!
You have EVERYTHING to lose. Life is not disposable friend. When we fall upon hard times in life we don't back out of it. Do you have any friends you can ride to work with? At least until you can establish some credit for yourself and get your own vehicle. I'm sure if you offered money for gas they wouldn't mind. Also, if you look around there are probably places willing to give you a chance on a vehicle even without any credit. Now, be careful of some of those because the interest rate can be very high. But you need to seek financial counseling to help get your credit established. Check the local paper or bulletin board at work or in laundry mats. Sometimes you can find a really good car reasonably cheap.
I hope this has helped some. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Don't consider giving up this precious gift. There is lots more for you to do Quentin. Things will come around, I'm sure.
