Found out how my friend died...

[SPKrazy]

and it makes it suck even more for his family...

suicide

:cry:

sucks big time

he was always such a happy go lucky type, friendly, funny, fun to be around, I don't know what happened.

it sucks though

[malta blue]

1. Wow...

I'm so sorry to hear this :cry:

My thoughts are with all those who loved him :hug:

[SPKrazy]

16. Me too MB

I was suspecting this

but didn't want to speculate

but hated to have it confirmed

:hug:

[suninvited]

2. I am sorry to hear about that.

I know that it is hard to understand. Depression is such a killer, and so hard to determine.

[SPKrazy]

15. having depression myself

I know of what he might have felt

I also know that a permanent solution to a temporary problem is irrational, and therefore he was in a terrible state of mind to have come to that conclusion.

[suninvited]

21. You are right, SPK

there are no fast solutions. Suicide is not the answer, and it hurts so many other people.

[SPKrazy]

23. true enough

I know how that feeling and thinking is though, it is a clarity of vision that takes over, and sanity has to creep through to snap one out of it.

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. Been there...very sorry SPK

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

14. Been there too many times

and it had been a while

:hug:

[AlCzervik]

4. I'm so sorry to hear that.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

11. yeah me too

sad that he's gone

sad that this was how

sad for his family

just sad

:hug:

[Midlodemocrat]

5. God, I'm sorry.

Suicide leaves so many unanswered questions behind, not the least of which is 'what could I have done?'

The answer is nothing.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

10. I know this to be true

however some things I learned about him make me think I might have been able to have some influence on him, maybe not. :(

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Honey, trust me. You know I know what I'm talking about.

Once that decision was made, there was nothing you could do.

[SPKrazy]

17. I know

and it is only that I think that part of the reason he did it is that he had an alcohol problem, I might have been able to help there, but then again, might now, no way to know, wasn't in the cards.

Not going to go down the guilt road, and I just feel badly for those who will wrestle with this for a lifetime... and they will

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Perhaps he is finally at peace.

Having put his demons to rest. Perhaps that is something to hold on to.

[SPKrazy]

22. I'm sure he is

I know the family won't be... but nada I can do about that either

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear SPKrazy...

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

There are always so many questions...

I hope he is at peace, now, at last...

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

9. I hope he is too

:hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I am so very, very sorry honey *hugs*

[SPKrazy]

8. I just know that it blows the family and loved ones away

and I feel for them

I wish I had been there for him, not that I could have stopped him, but who knows, I might have had an influence in his life

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I know, but don't go down that "if" road. There's nothing there but more pain. :^(

[SPKrazy]

18. I know

just some thoughts but like I told Midlo, it wasn't in the cards :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. *hugs*

[leftyclimber]

24. Oh, man.

I wish I knew what to say.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

27. It's just sad

nothing to say...

thanks

:hug:

25. SPKrazy, I'm so sorry for your loss

You are not alone. Relatives of mine have lost family members to suicide in the worst ways, and there is nothing to say except it hurts like hell, and I'm so sorry.

My great great nephew was happy go lucky too until one day he broke up with his girlfriend. He ate dinner with his family, went upstairs, lifted weights for awhile and then hung himself.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

I just hope you are not alone. It's normal to be totally confused when things like this happen.

My heart goes out to you and your loved ones.

[SPKrazy]

28. thanks

I hadn't seen him in a long time, was on facebook and saw someone posted he'd died. Then today I was told that he killed himself.

He was a great guy when I knew him, and I suspect he still was. I don't know what demons haunted him, but like others have said, he can put those to rest.

I feel for his family, and am praying for them.

thanks

[yellowdogintexas]

26. this always makes me very sad, even if I do not know the person

because I lost my father in this way.

I am sorry for your loss.

There are Suicide Survivors groups in most major cities. They help

[SPKrazy]

29. I'm sorry for your loss

I've known a good handful of people who killed themselves. It's always a shock, despite the fact that I can see how it might happen, I also don't understand the mindset of when it does happen.

Very sad thing.

:hug:

[myrna minx]

30. I am so very sorry.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

34. thanks myrna

:hug:

[Mike 03]

31. Heartbreaking thread.

This is one of those sad but meaningful threads that I wish was on General Discussion because it just seems so important to me that everyone sees it. Sorry for blabbing on, but I just really appreciate posts like this and feel they are very, very important for everyone to see.

[SPKrazy]

35. Thanks Mike

:hug:

[no name no slogan]

32. Now it's OFFICIALLY creepy

My friend, whose death I also just heard about via FB, was also a suicide. His visitation is tomorrow.

In high school, he was also the happy go lucky type.

What a fucked up world we live in.

[SPKrazy]

33. yup it is true

it is a fucked up world

that is weird

bad moon on the rise?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

36. I'm so sorry SPK

There are no words:hug::hug:

My deepest, sincerest and most heartfelt thoughts, prayers, condolences and sympathies are extended to all those who knew and loved him.

[sammythecat]

37. I've been lucky not to have had to deal with that yet.

Sorry that you have to.

Has to be just horrible for family and loved ones, and a terrible way for someone to die. Pain and sorrow all the way around. What a tragedy.
