[quote=Chico23231;1210080]Its been interesting to hear a lot of peoples perspective about the subject in general...most like me kinda asking why and what were the signs. I think his core group of friends feel a lot of guilt...and I think that's the wrong approach, looking for blame and trying to reason it...you will go crazy b4 you find an answer. Especially when he was close to family, financially doing ok...and generally a good dude, humble, no ego. Ive heard explanations of a lost sense of purpose, drinking/drugs, depressed, and the very Trump-like "weak minded" dropped by my dad of course. I think none of those can properly explain it...even though I think a lost sense of purpose is closest.[/quote]

Sorry for your loss Chico. I think everybody knows somebody who has done it or attempted to, I've had 2 friends who successfully did it. Everybody has their method of dealing with it, personally I don't try to analyze why they did it, just hope they found the peace they seek. Moreso feel bad for the family they left behind, one of my buddies left behind a wife and two kids that were absolutely stunned by it. Looking for blame doesn't solve anything and I'm not sure trying to figure what you could've done better helps either because it's hard to answer that question.

[quote=Chico23231;1209592]Ive never known anyone to commit suicide up until yesterday afternoon. Very brutal feeling of just unanswered questions...he was a close friend of my brother in law...who come to the pool parties, the kids b-day parties, we come out and grab a drink with friends, etc.

If you know someone who needs help don't be afraid to take that step, could save a life[/quote]

WOW. Sorry to hear that.

I can't imagine what his family is going through.

Eff pancreatic cancer. A month ago, a coworker that I worked intertwined at the hip with was a normal healthy mid-60's guy with a year left until retirement. He died this morning after being diag'd two weeks ago. Worked 30+ years only to die before he reached the finish line.

shit changes so quick brother. Last week I got home from vacation and my neighbor came over to tell me our neighbor across the street died...mid 50s from heat stroke doing yard work. He'd been retired a year.
