Houston-area mother shares her story of losing 2 children to suicide

Robin Martin encourages parents to talk about suicide with their kids in hopes that no other parent has to go through the pain she has to live with.

[@stephanied9629]

To lose one child is horrific, to lose another is unimaginable.

What about losing a child bc someone lies like Emmet Till. What's your take on that?

Ive lost a husband and a son to suicide.. Depression literally kills.Suicide doesnt stop the pain; it only passes it to everyone that loves you.

Very good way of wording that…it truly doesn’t stop the pain

The fact that her kid's friends are still in touch with her is so beautiful. Knowing someone still remembers your loved one frequently means the world. I'm happy that she not only gives support now, but that she also receives some type of support. I wish I could give her a hug, her kid's have such an admirable mother 💙

[@samathawingham4128]

Nobody wants to commit suicide. It is the emotional pain anger body pain and exhaustion from fear anxiety depression trauma it gets to be too much for some they just want all of it to stop😢

[@mmurray9330]

You are so right, thank you for sharing this.

[@mc2writer]

The other thing that I want ANYONE who calls suicide "selfish" to know is that a person in this place truly believes that the world/family/group will be better without them. They cannot in any way see their own value. My heart breaks for this momma - I can't fathom this level of pain. One of mine (both adults now) has mental health issues that have to be constantly monitored. When she was in college out of state, I lived in fear of this every day. I'm lucky - she got good help at the right time. My heart goes out to the brave woman.

[@Proverbs--tx6yr]

Although one doesn't accept or believe, there is a spiritual warfare going on and the spirit of Satan is roaming like a roaring lion seeking the empty souls of hopeless people with no protection from God..if you think this isn't possible then you're not educated about the spiritual realm at all and may want to consider a relationship with the Lord. Society and social media is controlled by the devil and its twisting the minds of young people from the time they're 5 years old now along with the television.. If you have a daily relationship with God the devil has no weapons against Him and he flees, if you don't have a relationship with Jesus, the devil takes up occupancy in you and will drive you to take your own life or find an alternative to numb the pain..

[@debbiewilder4738]

How do you get them to get help ? ​@@mc2writer

As a mother who lost a child the same way she is def still in shock & denial she has not accepted the loss, once grief hits her it will be hard. Lady I dont know you but our support group SOS meets at the woodlands , im personally here if you want to reach out. Hugs & prayers.

[@valeriemartinez3505]

No I feel like her but I do pray to God and I feel it's God and my son sustaining me , yes I have gone through horrible days that feel like hell , but I feel like God created our brains so incredibly that it protects some of us when the pain is to much, she is definitely different than other moms in my mothers grieving suicide groups ,

Your life is a gift. There are others dying who WISH they had more time to live. Everyone has problems but none are worth making that type of decision over. The problems will pass and are temporary. Value each day you have. Praying for God's peace in your mind 🙂🤍

[@EricaChavira-on4oz]

I honestly would throw in the towel if I didn’t have my two kids. Without them, I’d already be gone. They are the only two things that I’m living for, I’m not living at this point, I’m existing more than anything.

[@lizolson282]

Jesus and His mother Mary are the only answer! Pray and ask for their help, even if you don't believe, just ask.

I am so sorry about what you have to go through. I lost my 16 year old daughter (Aleia) in May 2022 from suicide. Almost 2 years, and I am just lost. I really do not want to be here anymore.

[@user-fq2wy2fk5r]

I don't pretend to know what you are going through, but I encourage her to chart her roughest of days for a few months. If it is cyclical, you might be dealing with a hormonal disorder similar to PMDD that causes depression and anxiety. I only mention it because of her age. I suffered for 20 years before they figured out mine was hormonally based. Just a thought because that cause is often overlooked. No matter what it is, I wish you both the best!

[@mochimochi7669]

⁠@@user-fq2wy2fk5rwow, I have PMDD. I’ve always had horrible cycles that started when I was 8. I’m on medicine that somewhat helps, but I now know antidepressants don’t help all the way. I use maca root powder that you can get from any store that helps a ton with balancing my moods. I also have borderline personality disorder that I’ve yet found a good therapist for. Thanks for spreading awareness for PMDD.

IT IS SELFISH

[@Jordyn_loveeew]

I lost my 8 year old son to cancer. This year will be 9 years that he’s been gone and although we lost our children under much different circumstances, we’ve both lost children nonetheless. And unfortunately, I remember how hard it was those first few years. Knowing what I know now, I call them the ‘adjustment’ years. It’s simply a period of time you spend adjusting to your new life without them… just surviving everyday. Then comes the acceptance of their absence and with that… the profound grief. There’s no way around it, only through it. My heart goes out to her… I couldn’t imagine the pain of losing 2.

[@virginiacollins8672]

It never goes away. I lost my older sister to suicide in 2023. We spent the day together. I found her. I live with it day to day. I am always pushing it down because I don't want to deal with it.

[@humbleyourself6875]

It does go away. It's spiritual.. I was r*ped when I was 8 .. I was suicidal and depressed.. I called out to Jesus to reveal himself to me . I wanted to know what was wrong with me and he came to me and healed me 😭😭🙌🏿 I'm free now. The grass looks so much more greener. I love everyone now .. the demons tricked her. They tell u how worthless u are and its all lies. U have to be spiritually protected.

It could be a long ride but it will!!!! Prayers to you and your beautiful granddaughter, Caitlyn.

I can’t imagine going through this with a child this young. I’m so sorry. I wish I could know what parameters to put in place to help a child or teen when you feel they may be capable of this? I have a son who I fear this for. I’ve put a camera in his room but we’re not watching it 24/7 I don’t know what other measures I can take 😓

[@LiterallyAllNamesAreTaken]

@@yessy102110 I feel like a camera isn’t going to do any good. god forbid it ever happens, you’re either going to watch your child take their last breath which sounds like a nightmare or encourage them to do it elsewhere. and if it doesn’t ever happen, you’re simply invading his privacy.

[@DJ-nk4dq]

I wish there was more context, i.e., did they suffer from mental illness, any drug use, life stressors/circumstances….

She’s such a strong mom and really opened my mindset on having talks with my children about suicide prevention and being proactive than reactive. That’s an excellent strategy and overall attitude and moral to ask not only about my kid’s days but about their classmates as well and to be extra kind to them and everyone in general. Kind words are always welcome and appreciated. ❤

[@ProductOfThePines]

Growing up with depression & anxiety (suicidal thoughts included) it made me feel crazy, like I was no better than the people in movies bound in straight jackets and cushioned rooms. The doctors/ therapists made me feel like my brain was wired wrong, and that medication was the only solution. As I got older, I wished someone had just told me that it's normal to feel this way, that a lot of people feel this way. But the problem was that it wasnt talked about enough. Thankyou for talking about it without hesitation. Thankyou for lending an ear to others. Thankyou for talking about it the way it should be talked about. ❤

My aunt died from suicide before I was born. I’m 34 now. I want to know more about who she was a person since I was never able to meet her, but my family NEVER talks about her. I remember trying to ask my dad and grandparents about her when I was younger and I could tell it was just too painful for them to even speak about. That’s just so sad, it’s like she was completely forgotten as a person, but I also know they must still think about her all the time. All I really know about her was that she was 18 when she died and she used a shotgun. Nothing about her life and who she was, just basic facts about her death.

Just like she said, suicide can happen and you can go into shock and not deal with the trauma for years even. Then one day it hits you like a train wreck. It changes so many facets of your life, your entire trajectory. Everything around you implodes. Please. Don’t ever put your family through this. In my younger years I had multiple serious attempts, one was a 50/50 chance to come out. The pain on my father’s face. The trauma my mother experienced for YEARS after. I ruined their dream of the future. I crushed it. Even though I still struggle sometimes, the pain I was in was nothing compared to the pain I caused my family.

Thank you for sharing, makes me feel less alone, My daughter was 20 and just died by suicide last month. I also laid with her for 9 days while she was on life support.

It stole any light she had left to the point she couldnt be happy if she wanted too. So i see we're on different spectrums of the situation yet we had same results.

Im so glad you're talking about this, without fear, without hesitation. pure devotion in helping someone else is beaming from you. I'm sorry that you have to speak of this from your own pain. I lost two friends, one on his 19th birthday in 2020, and the other at age 25 a couple months ago. It's so hard as someone grieving their loss, losing someone to suicide is so much more heavy than any other loss. the grief you carry, the guilt you carry.. It should be spoken about more often. We shouldn't carry these feelings alone. I myself periodically feel soo suicidal, for years I've struggled and will probably always struggle. Hearing the pain it deflects onto others is what I need to be constantly reminded. The thought of the pain I would deflect onto others is stronger than my own. But this needs to be remembered; spoken. when our heads are cloudy we need that voice through the pain to ask us to stay.

Oh I'm so sorry for all of your loss hun , I have no words only to say u and your family it's lovely how u care for how ppl are feeling and speaking out x god bless xx💖are in my thgts and prayers ,

[@Nay-ew4uj]

I am bawling my eyes out, this is so hard to imagine happening yet it did, to you. May God bless you. You are a great mom and the two kids didn’t want to see the disappointment on your face if they were honest about what they were thinking/feeling. Idk you, but listening to this interview, it’s obvious how much you love and adore your kids. They’re all lucky to have and had a wonderful mother 🌹. I think they would want their mom to live in peace. They’re no longer in pain, so you should start trying to heal your pain. I will pray for you 🙏🏼.

When a nephew committed suicide, the Dr told us that very often when someone in the family dues by suicide, another will die the same way. 🙏🙏💔😓💔🙏🙏

I feels your loss. So sorry for your loss. Please stay strong

[@wendy-uc9rj]

My nephew did this. It gave me a feeling that I am infected with such a deep sadness, I don't want to be around ppl very much because I don't want to infect them. It destroyed my family. We never had holidays together again. I have nephews and nieces that I've never met. A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If talking to your kids helps to prevent it then do it!!

I don’t know how I came across this video. So sorry for your loss Robin. I understand, my only daughter Paige committed suicide too. I can’t cope, I cry all day every day. Me too, I sleep in her bed with her microfiber blanket. I have no friends, Paige was my only friend. We were called The Happy Mother Daughter Duo. It totally destroyed me. It hurts every second of every day. I just want to join my baby in the afterlife. I can’t live with this intense pain every second. I can’t go anywhere where we used to go, like the mall, or Starbuck’s, Target, Walmart. I failed my baby, that was my job as her mom to save her. I didn’t save her. I sat in ICU too. My daughter was beautiful inside and out. I just want to be with her. I can’t live without her love, Everything hurts. People don’t understand. Not at all. I’m like you Robin, I don’t go out. It just hurts too much. She was my purpose and the love of my life. Now I have no purpose or will to live. Sending lots of Aloha Honolulu. ❤🌺 Now I’m crying for my Paige and for you Robin and Mitchell and Megan.🌻

Mama I’m so sorry for your loss. No one can imagine what you’re going through. Thank you for sharing your story and your opinion on the age limit for making medical decisions at the age of 25 years old in stead of 18 years old I 100 % agree with you and I’m in the medical field my heart breaks when I speak to parents about there kids who need help and parents can’t do anything because of the age oh there 18 years old they are an adult NO NO there not I hope the government changes the age limit it can SAVE LIVES❤🙏🏻.

This mom is so right, suicide folks can’t get out of their own way, asking for help is the hardest thing to do. And, Kids, Americans put your damned phone down and help someone in the process.

How devastating to lose 2 children to suicide. I just can't imagine. 💔My prayers go out to this Mama & her family.

[@cyndriay1551]

First I want to say you are a HERO & an ANGEL for turning your immense grief into helping others. Idk if I’d be able to do so. I have 3 children who have all been suicidal at one point or another. One child tried hurting themselves at 6 yo. Another during Covid was 10yo. Fortunately the 2 cities we’ve lived in have decent mental health care so there was immediate crisis assiatamce. Our state has a not the best for children or adults mental health care. The hardest is getting a therapist as waiting lists for children esp are months out. Being myself & ex hubs , family we all suffer with many mental illnesses I recognized these signs & initiated therapy & psychiatry meds as quick as possible. You get a lot of negative cruel comments sometimes from blood family that you put your child esp young child on meds. Meds for mental health can save a life whatever the age. And it’s no one else’s business what you do to help your child. You know your child better than anyone. Idk how many times I’ve stayed up all night talking consoling listening to/just being there to make sure one of my children were ok. Simply being there for someone is EVERYTHING. I’m here because several people were there for me when I was in my 20’s & suicidal. I’m not ashamed to talk about it. If you don’t have children or your way older you truly wouldn’t believe the trauma children have been thru / amd/ior the mental illnesses children suffer from. Just one of my children has SIX mental disorders ONE neurological condition. Genetics , Covid , lots of deaths /adduction, chaos with family plus bullying at school added with the pain from their friends traumas makes many children not want to go on. My 14 yo recently told me “I don’t know if I want to keep doing this mom” and she’s on good meds for some time & has ALOT of friends she has therapy thru school once a week. But she’s still struggling. It’s an epidemic. Let’s pull together for change. Let’s change & break the stigma. This strong mom gets all my accolades & she’s mom of year. THANK YOU for turning your grief into hope

[@brookehuff2528]

Sending you my support ❤ just something to yhink about, I had suicidal ideations between 6 & 10 & it was baffling to everybody around me, but I had been being SA & felt it would never end & like nobody cared enough to notice. Maybe something to look into at therapy. Hugs ❤
