If you came home to find the person in their favorite chair, but cold, unresponsive, and covered in blood from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. How can you help stop that image from ruling you're life????

To those who suggest drugs...banish the thought, drugs and alcohol were involved! I don't beleive in drugs to be an answer. Just a way to delay the pain!

It would be hard because you would not only have the memory of the loss but of the event as well. The best thing is to come to terms with the situation. Being understand that he was obviously not in the correct frame of mind and really didn't comprehend what he was about to do was permanent.
Then If possible after it is cleaned up re-arrainge the furniture to help block that spot. An end table or something.

I'm glad you posted that question because there are people on her who are sad and some suicidal thoughts. I respond to them usually if I think they are real. Then I worry about them afterwards. People don't realize that when they commit suicide, they destroy people left behind. I have a good friend who's 16 year old shot himself in the head in his bedroom (about 13 years ago) and she's never going to be the same again. I don't know how you are going to get that out of your head. Maybe some counseling? Unfortunately, shocking things stick. I hope you are going to be ok. Who did this? Please try to talk to a counselor. Maybe just talking to someone not close to the situation will help you. I AM SO SORRY......I'm sending you wishes for healing.

This is an image that will stay with you your whole life, it is now up to you as to how you wish to percieve this image.
A selfish act, a violent act, a loss of life, a horrible vision, etc...
I am sorry for your loss and I only wish the person who took their life this way could see and feel the pain they left behind. There is so much guilt to deal with you barely have time to mourn the loss.
Please seek out a good counselor for yourself and others in your home, it is very important.
I lost a husband to suicide with two sons who eachhandled it differently than me. We had to seek counsel to survive..

This depends on the relationship you had wih this person. Where you two close?or distant?family?good friends?
Whatever the relationship you had, I once had a friend who choked himself to death with a belt. I miss him terribly and though i did not see him, i envisioned it in my mind. That scared me, and if I only used my imagination I cannot begin to consider what you might feel. Just try writing a letter to this person. Even though they will not read it, it will hep you. You could also try writing in general about it. I wrote poetry. And also try picturing this person still there with you, guiding you. I don't know if any of this will help, but I wish you lots of luck. And I am sorry that you had to see such a sight. I wish for you to find happier times.

You can't. You have to find a way to change your thinking when it comes to that situation.That only comes with time.You may not ever understand why it happened,but you may one day accept it.That's just the way it is. Keep yourself surrounded by tons of friends and enjoy what it is that you DO have,not what was taken away from you.

You have to live life to the fullest. Focus on all the good things that you have to be thankful for until that image slowly fades from your brain.

why did this happen to you?...i couldnt imagine
take antidepressants for a start, like paxil CR until you get past that part of your life. go to a doctor if it is ruling your life and get his input on it. go to church, talk to your friends, dont withdraw because ppl that know someone who was really close to them who killed himself or herself are at higher risk for suicide as well, idk why that is.
