I have lost a couple of good friends to suicide. One phone call would have brought me running.
PTSD? I know a vet with a whole hearted interest in vets. I can/will relay info.

I misunderstood! I am very glad to have been mistaken, and I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your family member.Quote:

My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. She was a beautiful young woman.
I don't understand suicide, never have. I've had moments in my life which were so low that I've prayed for God to just take me, but I could not/would not be the instrument of my own death. When I was a child my mom attempted suicide. I remember the pain and fear I felt at almost losing her; it was overwhelming. I care too much for those I love to ever put them through that, no matter how bad my circumstances might get.
In August of last year a coworker took his own life. We weren't particularly friends, just coworkers, but we were a shop of just 7 people so there were bonds beyond just casual acquintance. His suicide affected me greatly. He was a good man and is missed but his memory will always be shadowed by the manner of his death.
I'm not a particularly good person; I make many mistakes and plenty are due to selfish desires. Thing is, I do care about others and will help anyone in any way I can. If anyone here on this site is ever in need of a friend to just listen to them, to be there for THEM, contact me - I'll be there! I don't want to lose anyone else I know, that includes everyone on this site. Sometimes in life all we need to get through lifes hardest times is just having someone there who cares without sitting in judgement. If you're in such a situation, please reach out to me - I do care about you!
May Gods hand of protection, peace, comfort and healing be ever upon each of us and our families.
Filed in the category of things you just don't want to know. She cleaned her apartment immaculately, moved a dresser to the center of her living room put one of those gigantic full length floor standing mirrors leaned against it. and then stood in front of it and shot herself. No one heard a shot, and the keys were in her front door lock for days. Her mother found her. Text on her phone had the police researching her interaction with a couple of people but no indication as to the ultimate reason behind her choice other than depression must have really got a hold of her.
Public services were last week and the Catholic Mass and internment were today (Of all days her Mothers birthday. Today was a bit odd, funeral mass in the morning and birthday dinner in the evening for the same family.)
I am so sorry for you loss, having had a number of friends choose suicide over the continued pain of living. I tears me apart when someone close chooses a permanent solution to temporary problems, but clearly, they didn't see it that way. When my best friend killed himself in '05, I beat myself up for years over "shoulda, woulda, coulda", and to this day still fall into that trap sometimes late at night.
