SuckageUponSuckage: suicide

[nickel]

suicide doesn't even deserve to be capitalized. it is a selfish way out, and although i know ppl who commit suicide are mentally ill, i still feel they were only thinking of themselves.

the brother of a friend of mine killed himself tonight. he left behind a wife and two children. he didn't think of them or the misery he has now caused them probably for the rest of their lives. :(

That sucks.

That does suck. I'm so sorry for the family.

Suckage upon suckage, I agree. :( That has to be one strong family for them to make it past what he did.

:( I'm so sorry. That's awful. :(

sorry to hear about that nickel. i know how hard and unexpected hits like this are.....hope you and more importantly your friend can stay strong through this tough time.

That pretty much pegs the suckage meter... :(

Sorry to hear about it, NB.

Suicide is a very selfish thing, and it takes a lot for a family to pull through it.

Not to hijack the thread, but I lived through this after an immediate family member did it-- things are never the same.

looking outside the box-it's a self-less thing as well..sometimes..considering suicide is sometimes the only way distraught people think they will improve the lives of others around them..it's a shame either way..sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, nickel. :(
