My best friend Mark is in a really bad situation right now and I'm worried for him. Him and his girlfriend Sarah were deeply in love. They were going to be engaged after being together for four years. However, Sarah suffered from clinical depression and often threatened to commit suicide from problems with her family life. The other thing that kept her going was Mark.
Last month, she finally did it. She hung herself at home and her parents found her later. Like most suicides, she had written a death note. On the part that was addressed to Mark, it said something along the lines of "I promised you that I could handle this thing called life, but I couldn't. I love you Mark, and if you truly love me like you said you do, I know I'll see you on the otherside soon."
Sarah had asked Mark to commit suicide as well. I've been comforting him, but I don't know how much longer I can do it. He's currently seeking professional help. If you were Mark, what would you do? What can I do to help him?
