I did not know this terrible news either! I am so sorry.
I do not judge suicidal people. Life is hard for most and some people just see no way out. I think they do not reflect on the fact that people need them.
I had two friends who killed themselves both of whom I knew since high school. One was my deer hunting buddy. His slut wife started fucking their mutual friend and rubbed it in his face. He came to me about a divorce and I did not want to handle it. I referred him to a lawyer that I did not know at the time was and is an incompetent moron. I did advise him to do whatever he could to get the divorce over with and let his whore go. His redneck father and probably mother pushed him to fight her. I knew when he met me in my office to tell me about the divorce that it wasn't going to end well. I have a strange curse of being able to see when bad things are going to happen. The last time I heard from him he called me to tell me what was going on. He was rambling incoherently and to this day the only thing I could understand him say is that he loved me. A few weeks later he drove into the back of a road grader and burned to death. He was getting on my nerves about the divorce and his last call irritated me. I never got over it because I saw it coming and did not reach out. I no longer go deer hunting.
The other was a guy who I was not good friends with in high school but we would talk from time to time and he was always nice to me. He joined the Marines and loved the life. Unfortunately he did what a lot of Marines do he got drunk and in a car wreck and broke both of his knees. He was medically discharged. I would see him from time to time at a local bar. He always had a huge dip in his mouth. We shot pool together and he would talk about the Marines. Just to tell you what kind of guy he was he told me once that my ex long time girlfriend asked him to go out with her after we broke up and he told me he refused because he thought to date her would betray me. He put a pistol in his mouth in his bedroom in his mothers house. I went to the receiving and saw him laying in the coffin in his alphas. One of his Marines adjusted the ribbons on his chest and another put a can of Copenhagen in his hand. It was horrible.

I've never understood why or how people can feel so out of tune with life that they need to off themselves. Maybe a terminal illness where you know for a fact you're going to be a burden to your espouse or kids, when my father in law was in his last two, three days and having to rely on my crazy mother in law they made me take his gun away when he mentioned killing himself. PTSD, fuck that, yes a guilt feeling but you know what, you are numero uno, press on, women or business problems? that shit comes and goes, I've been broke, just keep plugging it in, and it goes away. I don't know....I don't want to know.Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.👍 2Comment

Weeks before my wife killed herself she told me to find a new home for her dog. I told her that we both rescued him and I wasn’t going to traumatize the dog putting him through that.
later she mad a comment that she felt she had become a burden to me. I tried to assure her that after 36 years of marriage I would care for her as she would for me.
I knew the pain she was in. I know that being bedridden wearing a diaper was not what she wanted. Her niece & nephew asked if they could stay with us while they were relocating. As that date drew near she didn’t want them staying. I knew it was important that the got to see her. She was that sick. I knew she was dying. I didn’t figure she would do what she did.Comment

One of my best buddies from college killed himself in 2016 with a handgun he bought for just that purpose. He was suffering from terminal cancer and didn't want to prolong the inevitable, I guess. Great guy, never got real up or down, just a steady Eddie kind of fella. Still hard to believe he went that route.Comment

We had a well being check on a guy from his concerned family. Hadn't been seen or heard from for a week. Apartment manager let us in after no answer. We found him deceased dressed in women's high heels and stockings and an 0bama t shirt. There was a ligature around his neck, his hands were bound to the bed posts and a large black dildo affixed to a sawzall with a dead battery lay on the bed.
Out of an abundance of concern for the family we removed the 0bama t shirt to mitigate any shame.
Sorry guys...a little levity in a dark thread. By no means am I trying to diminish any of the stories shared here. Sincerest condolences. I have a couple too but choose not to share.Comment

The guy I referenced when starting this thread hasn't contacted me since he canceled our meeting. He's still posting gloom and doom stuff on Facebook. I think all he wants is attention.👍 1Comment
