That's terrible Timber.

Being shunned by his girlfriend probably wasn't the determining factor as you say. That maybe was for him the icing on the cake, it's a terrible thing for anyone, maybe just compounded his other issues. God love him.

Mate I'm so sorry.....



PS. Donut, sorry to hear that mate.

Sorry for your loss Timber.

My first thought was depression (chemical imbalance). This can happen to any one and there does not even need to be a reason to be depressed. People who take medication to get better at times can even have relapses after being taken off their medication for depression. For the lucky ones there are usually signs like frequent odd behaviour in the person, or emotional outburst at times for no reasons. Than again many times there are no signs.

It is very sad.

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.

Question Mark

Hey all, thanks for the very kind words. My wife wanted to discuss this last night, but I wasn't up for it -- it had been a long day. I'm thinking I might just print this out and take it to her.

For those of you who have never known suicide... erm... I guess they'r called "victims," you are lucky. At least 4 friends/acquaintances I've known have taken their lives.

That's awful Timber, I'm so sorry!
It's so hard to understand when someone has taken his or her life. One moment they're there, the next the have done it and you are left powerless.
Probably the one person who I would least expect to kill himself, my uncle, committed suicide - it's like MagiK said, you're left behind wondering what went on in his mind - and realise you just don't know.

I'm wishing you all the best for the coming time... hang in there! *hugs*

Sorry for your lost...the one's that commit suicide should atleast think on thier family before they do it. How sad they will be and how much they are gonna miss the person. If your being loved by someone don't just screw it up like that...
