Husband takes own life day after ‘perfect’ honeymoon

Isabel Coles of Southern Pines, North Carolina, shared her devastation after her husband takes his own life a day after their perfect honeymoon at a beach-front music festival in New Jersey.

The two tied the knot in September of last year, a year and a half after they met through a dating app and started a relationship.

After flying back from their honeymoon, Isabel’s husband, Christopher, who was in the military, was updating the guest lists for the big ceremony they had planned to take place in May.

In the morning, however, he left the house and headed towards the woods, and despite Isabel’s attempts to stop him, he wouldn’t listen. Shortly after, she realized he had taken his handgun with him.

She alerted his parents who flew from Georgia to help her look for him.

Sadly, his lifeless body was found the following morning, September 18, by his father.

Isabel was left wondering if there were any signs that she missed, noting that Christopher was “very driven and motivated.”

“I was shocked, I was devastated. He was great during our honeymoon, we had a great time,” she said.

“[Christopher] was very hard on himself, always pushing himself. There were no signs, it did take me really off guard.

“After he passed, I got an overwhelming amount of messages from people saying we looked so happy and that they always wanted what we had,” Isabel shared.

Months after losing her husband, Isabel received flowers from him beyond the grave. She was “freaked out,” but learned Christopher arranged the delivery months prior for their first Valentine’s Day because he knew he would be deployed at the time.

After sharing her story, Isabel received criticism by people online who accused her of having to do something with her husband’s decision to take his own life.

“There are people in my life that say I had something to do with it. I know it’s not true, my husband and I were very happy. No one can change that or take that away from me.

“There are things I do blame myself for but I don’t think we were unhappy or that I did it. He obviously was fighting demons and no one knew about it. I’m not doing well; there’s a part of me that is gone forever.”

She said she knew he didn’t do it to hurt her.

“For whatever reason he probably thought that people would be better off without him,” Isabel said.
