Thanks Jayna, suicide is never a straightforward or easy thing to deal with. We, family and friends, will move it forward as best we can though as we have little choice. I find myself wishing I'd made a call, wishing I'd said one last thing. I think that's what's so difficult right now.
I really appreciate you sharing your words here. Your emotions.
I always wonder whether there is really anything we can do or say in those situations. Especially with a person who is truly suffering and absolutely cannot find peace and solace in this world. At any rate, I hope you can heal from your grief, and from your own misgivings about what you might have done. I suspect he was pretty committed to the outcome, and that he is at last at peace.
I agree, there's little that can be done and I'm one who believes a person should have that choice. Want to check out? OK, do so. That doesn't mean I don't miss the person if it happens though.
Thanks for your message.
Agreed. It is a very unfortunate choice and a sad one. It leaves so many people aching. But it's hard to argue with someone who feels they are just done. Depression is a terrible thing. Again, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope it helps somewhat to know he's not suffering.
Thank you for your words of comfort.
Suicide is most difficult, you never knew how to answer, happened in my early twenties when close family friend took his life a couple of years younger than myself. Mother would knock at our door trying to find answers, simply no answer, ever!
Plant a tree, give it his name and remember the good times spent together, talk to it and watch it grow.
As a family we plant something to remember the person by, it's not ours to question what if!
Thanks for your message Joan, it's greatly appreciated.
Life is strange, keep the good memories!
