Seeking support form anyone who has a son or daughter survive suicide but has a brain injury and has other kids

[SeraJane]

Hi I am not sure where to find a support group for this. My 23yo son attempted to end his life and for three days we thought we would lose him., He is doing well now but has a brain injury and short term memory loss. My 19yo daughter did CPR on him. I am so worried he comes home next week and he teases her as though they are just teens fighting like all teens do but for her she has anger and is very sensitive as she is traumatised.....she is seeing a psychologist. Of course I am terrified he will go back to his old self destructive habits....anyway just reaching out to those who may have lived are living thru this type of thing
