have you ever had a friend that commited suicide?

Answer 1

Not a close friend. Kids in high school, that sort of thing. My dad did, though. Why do you ask the question?

Answer 2

You know, It is really hard to believe that someone has tried to commit suicide. People can be tricky. When I was in 8th grade, this really pretty girl in my class kept saying that she was trying to commit suicide, but I kinda never believed her. you know, some people just want you to pay more attention to them and they want you to treat them extra special and they say things that aren't true. Well, I sort of felt this girl was that way. She always said that everytime she tried to, she never succeeded in doing so. She did not die, I think she is still living but other than her, I have never known anyone in my whole life that did that.

Answer 3

My high school has a very sad history of suicide.

My senior year one of my school mates, just months before graduation committed suicide on his lunch break.

One week later a junior high kid came to school and shot himself in the head between classes (in the hallway).

A couple days later, a freshman committed suicide at home, after school.

Our school was a wreck. Councilors were provided for everyone, and we all got a week off, for grieving...

it was tragic,and sad, and unforgivable for the pain that was caused to us all....

Answer 4

Yes, my cousin. It was awful. The pain her parents and brother went through was horrible. It took them years just to be able to function in the world again. When someone commits suicide they don't just kill themselves, but take all their family and friends with them into a living hell.

Answer 5

yes i have one young friend who has taken his own life, he had a drug problem and we spent some months together in rehabilitation many years back, I knew what it was like to be really depressed and we talked a whole lot about why he was down....he was really freaked about philosophical questions and did not know how anyone could believe in God. I believe his parents were intellects in California, there are many here who do not believe in God...he questioned a God who's master plan included "cruel" things like the food-chain and why life was so un-fair....after I left the rehab....a couple of months later at an NA meeting people told me he was dead....we had shared some intimate heart-felt talks and I really cared about him, and loved him like a younger brother...He was a very handsome youth with his whole life ahead of him, his family was well off and his future looked fairly bright...I will never understand why he had to go. His heart was so kind. Guess someone needed an Angel like him in the Heavens....much love buddy...your in my heart.

Answer 6

Yes but it was not until fifteen years later that I found out why. Now my life is devoted to combating suicides using him as a centerpiece. He was working for me part-time and had attempted suicide out west and came back to Chicago land to do it. I know now there is an insult unto death. Suicide is group murder be nicer and God bless.

Answer 7

Yes. A woman I knew in an online relationship lost her husband in the WTC attack. She and her husband had booked the flight and in the last minute they had words and she let him go without her.... he was on his way home from where he had been, his plane was the first to strike the tower number one.

Not knowing anything about this, I sent her an email like we communicated back & forth several times a day, she was helping me with a great need I had, I sent her an email, and next thing she calls me on the phone, and the inwtant i hear her voice I am aware that something is terribly wrong. She tells me in a voice that was literally dead, so full of pain, how they had both been booked to fly that flight, but how she had refused to fly with him over an implied disagreement...

I did my very best to minister to her; but she was so far beyond pain and agony over losing her husband that nothing I said helped her... I spent a great time listening to her cry her heart out... she was so gracious to me, (because I was crying with her).... she consoled me.... After a moderatly long call, she said she knew she had to get through it and thanks for my prayers and love and all that stuff... and we hung up...

Later on that day, I sent her several uplifting Emails with sympathy and affection... but she never answered..... Some days later (I had sent a flood of emails to her just to divert her attention if possible) I got an email from her address, but it wasnt her.... it was her sister; she wanted to know who I was, what I had been emailing Lori about and I said that she could read the other emails of mine to see who I was to her.. that's when she gently told me that my friend had taken her life... She was overcome with remorse at having been so mean spirited toward her husband over what she had later seen as a stupid disagreement and felt that she was supposed to have died with him and she had ended her life moments after my phone call. I was the last person to have heard my friends sobs... that I failed to reach her.... I NOW know she had made up her mind to end her life... I only pray that she made it to Heaven- Actually I hope they Both made it.

Answer 8

yes, she was 32 beautifull, a wealthy heiress with over 5 million in the bank and much more to come, she was getting her PhD.
she could not find a partner that suited her. She was lesbian and in denial. Her parents were Jewish and had lost people in the holocost. There were 5 deaths in her family in the year before she killed herself. Her parents put a lot of presure of her to marry and have children, She was there only surviving child. They lost 2 before she was born. They said she owed them and the Jewish prole to reproduce for the people lost.

I feel bad she could not be helped. She had 6 years with a good therapist. I met her in graduate school. We were getting a M.A. in Counseling. I wish I could have helped her. She left a message for me with her therapist before she did it. I still feel a great loss. She died in 1983

Answer 10

sure... there is no longer some thing you may have finished outdoors of being an effective chum (distinct than being a "proper" chum -- there is no proper individual). regrettably, none individuals has the skill of creating existence properly worth living for absolutely everyone except ourselves. it ought to take a lengthy time period and assorted "ought to have, may have, must have" wondering before you could get over some thing so tragic. I actual have fought medical melancholy myself and through those circumstances I actual have even stated to human beings i understand "I ought to easily kill myself." what's a chum meant to do in this challenge -- have me committed? That doesn't make me a lot less depressed, i'd ensure that! i understand that no remember what properly-meaning acquaintances and kin attempt to do to assist, it truly is as a lot because the fellow to locate happiness and meaning in existence interior of themselves! it truly is amazingly not basic to do for each individual in some unspecified time sooner or later of their existence. this may be by using an genuinely chemical imbalance on your mind or different medical motives, or from worrying memories or rigidity. with out even understanding anymore specifics than what you wrote, i am going to quite say that you're not from now on the reason your chum killed themselves. purely the undeniable reality that you loved this individual adequate to mourn them so heavily... no matter if you experience that you "must have..." purely understand that you probably did better than maximum purely by technique of truly being concerned, and that each and each and every individual make blunders, and only hindsight is 20/20. attempt to celebrate this individual's existence and what they meant to you -- do some thing of their honor that can cause them to proud... yet in spite of you do provide up BLAMING your self!
