Suicide....Hard Knowing Thay did it By Their Choice
Suicide is not a choice! It is a desperate last option of someone who feels they can’t take any more pain.
I lost my best friend of 20+ years to suicide in 1989, I know the pain and it is hard to come to grips with it.

Very true. I just shared a very similar thought on another thread with someone who called suicide a "selfish act". People need to understand that in some cases, where mental health issues are plenty it is not a selfish act - it is a desperate act but that doesn't make it selfish per-say.
My father fought depression off and on for longer then I probably will ever know. He had to be hospitalized the year before he took his own life in a mental health ward. We (family) knows that he was afraid he was loosing his mind and for several other reasons that he was in his own way, in a moment of chaotic desperation attempting to save us from things he felt might be coming. No one will ever be able to convince me that this was a selfish act. Depression and other mental health related issues can cloud the mind so much that no longer is a grey area. They see everything in black and white.

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
