[The Hierophant]

I'm sorry to hear that you lost a friend TL. *hug*.
There was nothing you or anyone else could have done to prevent it from happening. It is just a decision that some people choose to make. Nothing more, nothing less. You have a strong mind, I know that for certain just from the qaulity of your posts. You'll come through this alright. Wherever your friend is, whatever the circumstances were that surrounded his passing, take the lessons that his life and choices teach you and grow from them. Whatever our spiritual beliefs may be, we are all reuinited eventually. Nothing ever enters or leaves our world, it just relocates to a different space. Be happy for having known him as he was, and look foward to carrying his memory with you as your life moves onward.
