T.F.
Oh geez, I feel fir the family and for families like you who have to explain.
My policy is honesty. I've been that way from day 1 and daughter is now pushing 17.
As hard as it would be, my daughter knows what suicide is, she personally feels it is wrong. We do not have any experience with this
If it were me... I'd be honest. I'm fortunate to have good open communication with my daughter. I tend to keep those communication lines wide open.
I'm sorry you are going through this. It's so sad
