Suicide Options

[*ersatz*]

One of my best friend's dad just killed himself on Monday. We've been trying to deal with it and help her the best we can all week. I'm mentally and physically exhausted; I've been at her house every night, everyone's brought so much food over. She's been taking it really well, but she occasionally has some breakdowns. She somewhat blames herself, saying like maybe if she had told him she loved him more or included him more, he would have been happier, and how she saw it coming cause he was suddenly happy like three days ago and the policeman told her that people do that when they make the decision to let it all go. Thursday was the wake, which wasn't too sad, but just really...strange since his body was there. Friday was awful though; the funeral was Friday morning and I couldn't hold back any tears at all. I couldn't look at either her or her mom because it was just too sad and we were all trying to hold them back so we could be strong for her and stuff. I just don't know what to say to her. I'm usually the go-to gal for listening and advice, but all I can do now is listen and just stay with her because she'll really need all of her friends when it actually hits her (it hasn't hit me yet, either).

Have you ever known someone who committed suicide? Were you really close to them? How did you deal with it? Were there ways in which you helped someone out who was hurt by it?

One of my brothers friends had Jumped in front of a on comming train a couple of years ago.And supprizingly He took it better then I did.Or at least from what I saw. The boy was only 11 when he did it and I could never understand how an innocent boy could get so unhappy untill his father came foreward that he was molesting him.

I honestly dont know how me or my brother moved on..We never forgot about him..We just realized that he was in a better place away from his father.And thats what he wanted.
