Do you know anyone who committed suicide?

Question

What made them do it. How did you cope afterwards?

Answer 1

Yes I've known 4 people who have killed themselves. My best friends son hanged himself because his ex-wife left the State and took his daughter with her and he had no idea where his child was.I was there to help my friend in every way I could. I had a neighbor who's ex-husband took her kids away from her and wouldn't let her see them and he was fighting for custody saying she had no job or income or home as she was staying temporally at the YWCA until she could get a job.She took a lot of pills. The jerk would;t let her work before he beat her up and she left him.I took her death very hard and I blaimed myself for being to busy to talk when she needed to talk. If only she would have told me how important it was to talk to me.I knew a young man who was abused in the worst way by a priest he couldn't live with what happened he took a lot of pills.I had an ex-boyfriend who took a lot of pills and killed himself. I blamed my self but he was very sick mentally and it had nothingg to do with me.I bothered me so much. I still hurt over what he did. I know I was still his friend and I listened to him over the phone everyday several times a day. There was just nothing I could do for him.I think I've known more than my share of people who have committed suicide.I will now over extend myself to the point of becomming physically ill from lack of sleep talking on the phone to anyone who has a problem. I want to let people know that I care and if I care others do too.

Answer 2

Not directly.
I used to own a cleaning service for many years. I was called in to clean up after suicides and I would always turn the family down no matter how much they wanted to pay me. I could not do it. They would beg me because they could not deal with the grief and the clean up too. How would you like to find the body of a family member, dead? It is horrible for the family that is left behind.

The parents and siblings grieve for the rest of their lives. Their lives are never the same. So when you kill your self to relieve yourself of pain you only bring severe never-ending pain to those who love you most. How could anyone do this to their family?

Now, would you go to clean the room where they son blew his brains out and they are splattered all over the walls and floor?
Could you clean up the mess that suicide makes? Every suicide leaves an odor of DEATH. No one wants to clean that up and it last a very long time. And many times the SOUL stays to watch. It is a shock to the soul to die like that so tragic. And many time the soul can not find its way to the Other Side. It gets trapped on this plane sometimes for years. When it does enter the Other Side (heaven) you go to a plane with others who have killed themselves to sit and wait to be born again. You could be here for years with those that cry and wail in darkness. God says you will come back and next time your life will not be as ROSY. You may end up as that starving African child we all hear about or the guy who spends his life in a wheel chair. Read Sylvia Brownes books and you will learn what it is all about.

Suicide is Never worth it, and life always gets better around the corner.

Answer 3

I lost a friend whom was 42 yrs. old to suicide 2 yrs. ago. As to what made them do it? It could have been several reasons that not even his family or friends could pinpoin it. Mind you I was pretty close with him as he was gay and so am I. He also had health issues as well as mental health problems.

I possibly think he might of contracted the AIDS/HIV VIRUS as he tended to run around with teenagers and did not use any protection. I don't think you ever get over it as for dealing the loss, you have to keep going with your own life.

The week prior to his death he was joyful and happy at his place of employment and no one saw the sign. Even his family agreed with me that he was alouf about his feelings. I do miss him a lot and if only..................I could have reached out to him. May he rest in peace.

Answer 4

A friend of mine's dad hung himself in the garage when we were 8. We found him hanging there and he was purplish blue and he had wet himself. She is still not ok and I have nightmares about it sometimes still. He said in a note that he couldn't take care of his family so maybe this way they could get help. WRONG! My friend ended up in foster care for a while and her mom was institutionalized for a year. They still aren't right in the head. I had to go through counseling for a few years. I believe that suicide is completely selfish and wrong. If you can't deal with your life fix it don't end it.

Answer 5

Yeah, I knew a guy who did it, but I didn't reall knew him, it was an old friend of my father. He lost his job and was going through a really rough economically speaking year. Really sad, the sadest part was that he was one of my classmate's dad. I don't really know how she coped,cause she wasn't told her dad had killed himself, she thought and still thinks it was a heart attack or an accident. I guess her friends just supported her, and she evntually accepted it.

Answer 6

My best friend did and therory is that he did it because he was depressed and drunk, he also killed two other people. This was five years ago and I am still not coping well. I miss him terribly every day.

Answer 7

Yes. I think she accidently did it after trying many times.

I went to Survivors of Suicide support group. I think they are a national organization.

Answer 8

yes a good friend...i think he was bipolar and his condition was exacerbated by heavy drug use....i had moved to a different state before he died, but before that i saw him like every single day....after i moved we talked and wrote, but we just weren't as close as when we lived in the same town......it was hard...his sister (also a really good friend) called me and told me he died, i was at school when i got the call and i couldn't stop crying and a classmate drove me home....i guess what helped me cope was going to visit his sister and going to see his grave
