Re: Suicide in His Car
not presently suicidal, but when i am in that deep black hole i think my dying is the only way to save my children from me. we're not trying to be selfish at all, suicidal people do not think clearly, try to remember that. a lot of us do not even wish to die so much as we wish an end to the emotional pain and turmoil and it seems death is the only way to achieve that.

Re: Suicide in His Car
Very sad, Iv'e known two people close to me that have taken their own lives, both have left children behind, The kids blame themselves. Its heartbreaking to see how much pain they deal with on a daily basis, and will forever have unanswered questions. Im sorry, but I still think its selfish, but I do understand what your saying.  |

Re: Suicide in His Car
I have been suicidal many times in my adult years, and it is infuriating to hear people flippantly ascribe selfishness to a suicide victim. I would turn that accusation back on those folks and contend it is selfish of them to expect the suicidal person to continue to live in misery for the sake of their peace of mind. On the other hand, it's an entirely different issue if you have dependents (i.e. children). |

Re: Suicide in His Car
children and other survivors really need to get into therapy, i do understand, (when i am in my right mind), how it can affect them horribly. but i would like all survivors of suicidal family members or friends to know that most of us think we are sparing them the agony of having to know or live with us.

Re: Suicide in His Car
I wish you wouldnt feel that way, dont ever forget "YOU" are very important to your loved ones, TRUST me when I say they would rather have you here, than not. There is so much I wish I could have told her, I had no idea things were so bad for her. Now I can only wish things could have been different. She has been gone for years, and I still have a hard time with it, I can only imagine how her kids feel. This is a sad subject.

Re: Suicide in His Car
yes it is a sad subject, but an important one to address; we never know who may happen upon these postings. most people who are severely depressed hide it well, we withdraw, especially from our friends. we don't wish to harm them with the pain that we feel. just remember to love the ones around you and let them know you care. that can be your friend's legacy from here on out. it may help bring you peace. sorrow is not forever. love is. |
