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?

i've had... which was my ex... when i broke up with him, he almost died from eating alot of pills, and got himself to the hospital... that was the worst times ever, but now we're good friends, even though i know that hes still has feelings for me :/ and is overly upset that im with another guy since 2005... he(my ex) suicide himself three years ago though... but i cant deal with it because hes all the way on the opposite side of USA from me, the only thing that i could do is call his mother and tell her everything that she rushed him to the hospital... thats all i did...but if you concern for a friend that wants to commit suicide, tell your close friends about it to help her out like her mother or like any close friends that you two have...
