I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son Jacob. My heart breaks for all of you.
I lost my son just about 17 months ago to a fatal drug overdose, at the age of 29. The loss is overwhelming. I wish you and your family peace and comfort in the days ahead. May God bless you all.

May God totally give you peace and comfort in your terrible struggle to come , forever your lives have changed. So very sorry from a mother who has gone through the same.
Many people go about their day to day lives of fighting a silent battle that has very few physical symptoms. May you find peace

I feel your pain. One of my brothers committed suicide in 2002, the year I bought my house which I love. So when I think "how long have I lived here", then I know how long he has been gone. My condolences.

Although I didn't know Jacob I do know all too well the struggle of those dealing with depression and demons. My heart aches for his family. He sounded like a wonderful young man. May Jacob rest in peace and may we continue to learn more about how we can help those suffering with mental illness.
