Family friend committed suicide 2 nights ago
It hurts so much.

Just hurts. I can't seem to stop crying. That someone with so much love and family around him would find nothing anywhere to live for just devastates me.

Breaks my heart.

1. There are no words
of comfort. From someone who knows how much your heart is breaking. :hug:

2. I am sorry.
Maybe you can find a way to help his family with the pain. I am told that people who commit suicide hurt too much to see the love and support around them. Please be well.

4. I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
My best friend of 25 years took his own life just six weeks ago. I am just starting to come to terms with what happened.

:hug:

10. i am sorry ofr your pain. and for all those that loved him
the brain does a mess up at this time, that allows a person to see this as an option. it is so hard for everyone else. it akes sense to the person that suffers.

11. I am sorry, kimi.
.
.
.
Take comfort from and give comfort to the people still here -- and
from the fact that whatever seemingly unbearable pain your friend
was experiencing has now stopped and your friend is at least now
at peace.
.
Anger at the departed often follows. Start working on forgiveness
as soon as you can, if not now. Try to keep love in your heart.

14. If it's of any consolation...
a person that is capable of overriding the most powerful instinct, that of self preservation, is not of right mind and cannot see, though no fault of their own, that he/she has much to live for.

15. It's been hard for me to even come back to this thread
specially since I lost a pet this morning too. Loss, eh, it hurts.

Thank you all for your words. I've dealt with depression myself, and know how crippling it can be.

My heart goes out to those of you who have also had to deal with this, and who have dealt with loss. It's life, but it hurts. I'm grateful that we have here a community of support. Makes a big difference.

No, a monumental difference. Thanks again.
