Austin's Story

A mother talks about losing her son to suicide in an effort to help others.

[@itsppi]

“God is crying with us tonight” 😞 May he rest in peace

[@TheSesilye]

My son was 20 when he passed the same way while away in college. Outside he seemed fine but little did we know he was struggling . I wish we knew so many days I wish things would be different but its our reality now living without him.

[@itsppi]

I’m so sorry. Sending love to you and your family ❤

[@gigilamoore2656]

Such a beautiful message from a beautiful woman. RIP Austin and Evan. #nomoresuicide

[@philiphester9103]

I was a school teacher for 18 years. My BiPolar meds got out of whack, and I got really depressed. I had a near fatal suicide attempt. I had to stop teaching to get myself together.

[@JLC0389]

Prayers to you sir. Stay strong and keep fighting🙏🏻

[@beckipodgurney7672]

I’m so so sorry for the loss of your son and everyone else that’s going through this😢

[@marilynbosma2352]

My heart goes out to you. I’m so glad Austin knew God! Thank you for actively saving lives!!!

[@Glen523]

Thank you. very wise words from a broken hearted mother, who seeks to help us all, to help ourselves and each other.

[@shastajustice3753]

A mom's love. 💗 My close friend took her life 6 months ago. RIP Austin and Audrey.

[@madzazmarland3785]

Rip Austin and Evan 😢😢😢 Thank you

[@Angela-zp2gy]

Thank you for your bravery. These stories are hard to tell but important for so many of us to hear. Sorry for your loss

[@rosegarza676]

Suicide is a demon telling people bad things. It's very hard for them to get rid of this demon. Pray for Yahwehs protection

[@TheFracturedfuture]

You sound severely brainwashed.

[@dellahicks7231]

Bless you for taking a tragedy to your family, and finding the ability to share it with others. You will likely never know how many individuals you have assisted, but rest assured you have. May your 🩷 continue to heal as you share Austin's story. May he be at peace. 🕊

[@nicoleannewellness]

Beautiful message. Rest peacefully, Austin and Evan ❤️❤️

[@donsicariofx]

If you're a doctor...please never call a parent to tell them over their phone their kid is no more...

[@alyssaheubel]

Unfortunately sometimes they have to. Especially if the organs can be donated. I’d be more upset if I found out my daughter’s organs could have gone on to save other lives had the doctor called and asked me immediately instead of waiting for me to arrive.

[@BIGBOYMATD]

Why?? I lost my husband in a car accident... putting an end to the mental gymnastics your mind plays is the nicest thing you can do in a situation like this.

[@anjelasaafia]

I thought the same

[@sherylstory7809]

Well either way its hard but at least they didnt get to the hosptal thinking there was still hope

[@darkwebgirl]

I work in emergency medicine and one of the biggest rules of medicine is no false hope. You don't want them showing up to the ED thinking their kid is alive when they've been dead 20 minutes. That's not ethical.

[@riteshbdoerga6090]

Just watched this. So sorry for your loss. Dear all, just remember. U are on this planet for a reason. U matter, be here❤❤❤

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

Truly sorry for your loss. RIP Austin

[@the.seagull.35]

This is powerful speaking. I think God prepared this work for you to do, and he prepared you for it too. I can see why people want to listen to you tell your story. I think you'll help a lot of people in Jesus name.

[@the.seagull.35]

@@TheFracturedfuture 💔 yeah... I know what you mean. --- When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother [Lazarus] would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” John‬ ‭11:32‭-‬37‬

[@SusanHolbert]

My condolences to you and the family.

[@cindydiangelo2042]

And now my Robert has joined Austin and Evan. May they Rest In Peace forever. Thank you for your message.

[@gambino6879]

Your story has helped me so much. You truly will never know how much your story and pain has motivated me to not put my family through that💕 thank you..

[@goosebumps_2024]

I say the “Anima Christi” over and over again and really think about the words. Sometimes I lay down and imagine myself at the foot of the Cross and looking up at Jesus. I usually start feeling better then eventually. It’s my go to lifeline to shaking any depression I have. Hope that helps someone today.

[@taghazoutmoon5031]

I have been through so many toxic relationships. Nothing ruined my life as much

[@the.seagull.35]

How are you doing

[@taghazoutmoon5031]

@Dannydolan88 so sweet of you to ask. I'm still feeling stuck in the cycle and negativity. I hate to be a victim. I want to take control of other parts of my life since I can't influence my love life. But my relationship and past heartbreak takes so much of my energy. Even if I break up, I know it's going to be hard. Breakups feel so traumatic. I get attached and it hurts to leave...yet it's destructive to stay.

[@the.seagull.35]

@@taghazoutmoon5031 I feel your pain. To be honest I've never had a good relationship in my life. My parents divorced early and I grew up around fighting, even back to my early childhood. I know its had an effect on me... But until recently I didn't know just how much it did. I can see myself clearly repeating the pattern and I've hated it. I just want to be better. hoping in Jesus to change/heal my heart. But all of that to say, mayne there's something in your past that can help you understand yourself better. ❤ Therapy could definitely help you. And I know that if anyone prays to Jesus in faith, he will answer. 🙏

[@joannefroehlich8165]

My sons gunshot wound was instant and fatal. Didn't even get to donate his organs

[@filomenacornelio6809]

Blessings ❤❤❤❤

[@tgayer1]

Thank you for sharing your family’s story. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💕 God’s blessings to you. Thanks for spreading the message of hope.

[@julielowe4797]

I cannot imagine losing a child that way. I lost my Dad last year to suicide and he shot himself through the heart. My Mom committed suicide June 28th, 1988. The road is so long and just a host of emotions . You are so right!

[@supergamerkirb5624]

I hope your okay, I love both my parents very much and I couldn’t imagine losing them both like that. I really am sorry for your lose and I hope your living an amazing life. Suicide is such a painful state that everyone should be able to relate to and I’m sorry

[@heidismith8829]

So very sorry for the loss of your son.

[@deniseblackburn33]

Beautiful said mama ❤️

[@littlemikeism]

You are so brave! God will use you for his good in your darkest hours, if you only let Him.

[@curryhumphreys5037]

Thank you for sharing.

[@buckfiden2988]

My condolences.

[@johnvelasco9613]

I was kinda of middle-of-the road in school, and had minimum wage fast food jobs - and, compared to a lot of kids/ppl that went to good colleges and have good jobs I never had suicidal thoughts about my life and never had these problems growing up or in my adult life.

[@annabelle1471]

i think some of its mental illness, some of its family expectations combined with sensitive personalities, some of it is some deep trauma and unknowns

[@lindelwanothandongcobo8863]

Lucky you

[@Hopewell51]

Was depressed while in the Navy so I admitted myself to the ER for suicidal ideation, then after the Navy I came home and bought a gun. Then i got arrested and hit with a 3rd degree felony and 18 months in prison. Because in Ohio its illegal to possess a gun even after a voluntary psych admission. So thank you Ohio for showing my life never mattered. 😊😊😊❤❤😊😊

we should be proactive concerning closed head trauma/injury. Being concussed one time is too many. My cousin wrestled through concussions & later took his life. Look into hyperbaric chamber therapy, chelation, etc. some are seeing positive results

[@rebeccaduboise285]

[@evelyndonnacunningham3553]

Can’t help wondering about the girl in the toxic relationship?

[@MoonChild.62]

Terrible! It's Not easy to lose a child thru this!

[@RobertoTorres-sk1lb]

Stop the sad music when talking about these things

[@stephanieanderson8546]

Listen this is her story and she can play it however she wants .. that includes music .. 😊

[@seventy167]

Unnecessary music. Interfere with the messages

[@RJFP67]

Stop medicating people who are going through puberty. Being depressed about life’s hardships is common and needs no medical treatment. Puberty is hard enough without adults filling their heads with mental illness bs 😢.

[@danielgiordani7625]

You’re ignorant AF. Depression is a real disease that devastates and ends millions of lives. Watch Robert sapolskys lecture “ the biology and psychology of depression “ it’s on KZbin

[@pauljordan4452]

When you're autistic, puberty is a real pain in the ass. Leads to depression and worse.

God bless you in Jesus name.

[@Godless-Being]

Your God let that happen while he just sat back and waited for it to happen and did nothing. Your God is a dbag, that’s no god of mine

[@Godless-Being]

@@sonOfTheL1vingGodwhy? Your God let it happen why still praise him? That’s no god of mine.

[@sonOfTheL1vingGod]

@@Godless-Being free-will. A loving God does not force you to follow him. People have choices and choices have consequences. God always avenges though. He is not mocked. You reap what you say.

Stop the background music. Very annoying.👎

[@itsppi]

Nah, it was fine

[@idagirl814]

We need to look at young men in particular, because they are more affected than any other group.

[@DD-pt9qw]

Suicide is a epidemic and we need to do a better job of tackling this disease.😢

[@DehGoattt]

Suicide is either a temporary thought or an permanent one. If it's severe then it cannot be cured

[@JavierBonillaC]

My heart goes out to this family. I feel such pain for you, I am so sorry. I feel like crying and Im an old man.

[@lindagarbarini5566]

My son passed my heart is broken thank you for sharing your Love and strength

[@maryrein8801]

SORRY to hear your devastating news. Thank you for your bravery to CARE about our young people. God sees you.

[@Godless-Being]

Poor kid, he had a future

[@divinamitchell9177]

I think it’s football added to this .. my son was a football player too..

[@ct12969]

Sorry for your loss. If you don’t mind me asking is there anything specific about football that contributed to your sons case. If you don’t feel like sharing I understand. God Bless

[@brittanystevens2989]

I think she means that when young men play football they are more likely to multiple head injuries when the brain is still developing this can cause drama and a lot of depression it not properly diagnosed.

[@sidstovell2177]

CTE??
