SuckageUponSuckage: suicide
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.

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

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.
