I've become callus and immune to the shock and surprise of suicide....

[USMC88-93]

The number of people I personally know that have chosen that route is almost in the double digits so I have become come somewhat callus and immune to the shock and surprise of suicide. Bad news just never surprises me anymore. It is a whole different ball of wax when it is a family member. Of course the family grapevine did not work as advertised and I found out the day before the funeral. I typically have felt nothing but contempt and anger towards those that have made that choice I'm a bit coonflicted having those feelings towards a family members choice though a stupid choice it was.

Sadly there's nothing to say except, condolences.

Condolences. Not being notified by family just adds salt to the wounds.

Sorry to hear this OP.

My condolences to you and the rest of the family. Definitely a sad affair when someone with so much life ahead of them leaves us too early.

Very sad, my sincere condolences for the family and you.

If you want to help prevent more problems for the family have someone at their house when the family is out for the funeral. My dad died in Jan and while we were at the services someone broke into my 90 year old moms house and took many family items that could not be replaced at any cost. Who would have thought!

Sorry, man.

I've been close to a couple of suicides. They usually piss me off with the selfishness of the act. The most recent left a young baby fatherless while his wife was on military deployment. Wasn't on his own and had support from his family...but opted out of life with sleeping pills, a trash bag, and a bottle of helium.

I hope the family gets through this as best they can.

Reminds me to check on a friend tomorrow.

I'm sorry. It's a special kind of hurt for family to sit on this info.

Suicide is a painful, baffling event. There is no closure.

No one sat on it, immediate family spread word with expectation it would travel, and those that would have told me presumed someone else had already. My sister messaged me asking me for an address to send a sympathy card related to the funeral......My response was "What Funeral?". She had an Oh Shit moment realizing no one had told me.
