Sorry for your loss. As someone who has struggled in the past with depression this hits close to home.
Sorry to hear. It’s really hard to know why or what was going on. My 1st wife committed suicide just after being married a year. She thought she was ending her pain. What she didn’t see was that pain was transferred to those around her.
Sorry to read of your friend's loss, ATW. You have my condo On the positive side, though, there's been some quality posts and discussion in this thread about depression and hardship. I know that's probably not much comfort for you, but for others I know that can have enormous value...
^ Ugh. Went back and edited my original post, started typing a new one & thought better of it, but I guess I posted it somehow. You do not have my condo. Condolences, yes.
I’ve said this before but will say it again I appreciate your willingness to share your own experience. I and I’m sure a lot of other clutchfans are glad you’re still here with us. the music threads would be a lot less Interesting without you.
Sorry man. I just got word from that a family member attempted and I don't know how to feel about it. Suicide is just one of things, I don't think you could explain it to me.
That’s the hard part. Trying to understand someone who seems to be doing well what might actually be going on inside them.
Thanks and I really don't mean to hijack the thread but wanted to focus on the fact that the person's pain doesn't go away upon a suicide - it just gets transferred. I personally could (and did) move on. Remarried now for 33 years with 3 great kids. Her mom and dad however could never move on from the pain. I mean how could you?
