Family and Suicide?

Question

How would my family feel if I killed myself around this season? I'm Jw, it reallly wouldn't be my problem though because i'd be dead.

Answer 1

All I can say is that your family would be in so much pain. I lost my brother in a car crash a week before Easter and my mother already had his Easter basket and everything all set and ready for him but he never got it. It was the hardest thing we've ever had to go through.

It really doesn't matter which time of year it is, there will be holidays all year round and you will not be there. and it only gets harder. now it's Christmas, but then prom? you're not there. graduation? you're not there.

i can go on and on..
it's sort of sad that you asked this.
you know your family would be devastated.

Answer 2

How do you think your family would feel? They would be devastated that their son has taken his life. Killing yourself is never the answer. if you are feeling depressed about something talk to someone about it or have a blog. They are always good. Weather it is a video blog or just a normal one there are people out there to talk to, and help you through difficult times.
I have been in the same place you are and trust me killing yourself is not the right thing to do. I am just thankful that I am still here today. I know you probably feel as if no one loves you or even cares but your family and friends do even though they may not show it in a way you would like them too.
Please for your sake and your family's if you really want to kill yourself get some help. Life is a very precious gift that you cant take for granted, because when you are doing it there is no turning back. All there is is a long tunnel at the end either with light or fire and the path you choose is where your soul will spend all eternity, and suicide is an eternity of pain and suffering. what you may feel right now will be nothing to what you feel if you take your life.

Answer 3

Not a great idea. What about all the presents you would miss out on? Then there is New Years and the parties. After that there is Super Bowl Sunday. Then The NHL All Star Game and Skills Competition. Easter, Cinco De Mayo... Cinco De Mayo is a good one. The STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS!!!! Memorial Weekend that Kicks off the Summer Season followed by the 4th of July and more summer fun. Labor Day weekend and the fall colors are just around the bend. Oktoberfest and few weeks later it is Halloween and a couple weeks after that you are stuffing your face with Turkey and Mashed Potatoes w/ gravy and the Pies... Oh the Pies!!!
Then it seems like you were just putting the tree away and its Christmas again! Man what a great year! And I get to do it all over again next year. Life is goooooood!
Suicide...what good does that do? Nothing. If your family sucks start a new one and create a great new family! It is all what you make so make the best of it.

Merry Christmas

Answer 4

I'm kind of thinking that the best answer would be no answer at all. Like you said it wouldn't be your problem you'd be dead. However, the simple fact that you are even considering the feelings of those in your life tells me that you are not yet beyond hope. You may only be wondering, but even suicidal thoughts can indicate that there is something going on. I would talk to someone before you decide to make a plan (even if the plan is just for wondering).

Answer 5

Actually it would be really stressful more so, as I had a male friend whom was gay and he jumped off a bridge and I really miss him. They said the week prior to his suicide that he was really in good spirits, but it really was a lie, because as a male he tended to keep his feelings inside and made light of the fact of what he had already planned.

And yes, I've been at that place too, but I'm still here because, I reached out to get the much needed help that I needed. Perhaps you should try and call a crisis centre or take yourself to the nearest hospital and tell them how your feeling.

Also christmas time is sometimes a real difficult time for a lot of us. I hope you don't do it. Also reaching out as you did is a possitive thing that you did here.

Answer 6

I went though this exact same thing last year. It's not worth it, no matter what. Just calm down and think things through a little better. Everyone would feel so much pain, and sadness. So many people love you and don't want anything to ever happen to you. Imagine growing up and having a wonderful family, then your little boy suddenly dying. I know it would rip you apart on the inside. Just keep hanging in there, and know that you are loved.

Answer 7

I know your family would feel a lot worse than I would about it, regardless of the season or your religeous beliefs. I would feel terrible, and I don't even know you. Fortunately for me I could move on with my life and by the time I'm reading the Sunday funnies in my local paper I would have forgetten all about you. Not so for your family! They would have a big hole in their lives, a big ache in their hearts that would never go away untill the day they die. They would never forgive you for the pain you caused them by taking your own life, and they would never be able to forgive themselves for missing the signs that should have told them of the pain you're in that's making you think to do such a thing. My uncle drowned himself when he was 14. Twenty eight years later when I met my grandma for the first time, she was in tears just mentioning his name, as she unpacked her suitcase and showed me the mementos of him that she carried with her everywhere she went -his wallet, his cap. It was the Depression. A family caught in the throes of poverty, and alcoholism. In a moment of anger he killed himself, not realizing that his Mom was having just as difficult a life as he was, and now her burden was sooo much greater and harder to bear. Only a few years later the economy was better, the alcoholic father was gone, each person had grown up and moved on and was making a better life for themself, only they had to move on without him, without the son and brother they loved and missed. Each one with a bitter pain in their heart, an empty spot that only he could fill. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I've been right at the brink many times myself and afterwards, when I feel better, I'm so thankful to God that He carried me through that episode. Life is good! Choose life. Choose it for yourself, and for the sake of those you love, and for the sake of those who love you. Whatever you do is going to have a tremendous impact on all the people around you. God bless you!

Answer 8

Think about that long and hard. How do you think it would make your family feel. It wouldn't only be at this time of the year either. Your birthday and other Holidays would be just as hard. They would never be the same again. This is such a selfish act of people. My ex took his life 4 yrs ago and I hate him for it...HATE HIM for how he left things...angry that he didn't seek help...that is what you should do seek help ASAP!!!

Answer 9

I think suicide is a very selfish thing to do. Your taking the easy way out and leaving everybody else behind to deal with the aftermath of your sorrow and theirs. You need to get help because no matter what is wrong, it can be worked out.

Answer 10

DONT!!! Your whole family and all of your friends would be devastated and sad. Think about all the great things in your life! GOod Luck
