been thinking about this for days now. I feel like shit because we were not on good terms when she died. We had not spoken for 2-3 months now for a bs reason. We had dated for a few weeks/months a little over a year ago. I knew she was having some issues then, part of the reason it never advanced. I just feel like an ass for not reaching out lately and putting the dumb argument behind us. dead at 25

kidman, that's horrible... i'm sorry man...

i lost a close friend a couple years ago, it's the single worst thing i've ever experienced. it will stick with you... just remember she did it because she was in so much pain, so in some fucked up way, it's easier to grasp that she feels better now..

sorry it happened though

Sorry man, depression is the silent killer, and this happens too often. I feel for you, lost a friend recently and lost others to suicide before him. Cherish her memory and let shit go.

That's terrible to hear.

It was a permanent solution to a temporary problem.


May she Rest in Peace.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll say this because I don't care what others think about me. I was close at one point in my life to ending it. I cannot articulate the desperation, it's way beyond description. She likely contemplated it for a long time. Don't feel any guilt, but don't judge her either. Just try to make peace with it, and don't let the way her life ended define her life. HEAL. Hear, Experience, Accept, Let Go.

I had a friend share that HEAL acronym with me. He lost his wife in a car accident. Over time, he was able to have happy memories of her and moved on and remarried.

It takes a big man to admit what you just said in this thread.

I am depressed as it gets but I'd never kill myself. I have a son I have to pay to see. A failed business. An ex making sure my life stays as shitty as possible and if I overcome the obstacles she will just take more money from my success. Debt up to my eyeballs. What seem like un breakable shitty habits. Gained 30 pounds over the last year from all of it. Losing my hair from it. The list goes on and I'm not even 30. I'd never kill myself. If you plan on doing so then I suggest you find Jesus. The journey is long.

A close friend of mine took his life a few weeks ago at age 27. Impossible to understand what was going on. Sorry to hear and my condolences to the family and friends of those who lost someone dear.

This kinda crossed my mind.

It was shitty of her to drag an innocent person into this. That poor truck driver may be screwed up for the rest of his life.

So sorry for your loss but Not your fault .. You can NOt stop anyone for doing what they want to do ..,her case a rittle extreme ... Semi truck too painful .. Perhaps carbon monoxide poisoning more apropos and less painful .. But if she had no car , maybe hanging possibility ... Obviously sick person .. We don't need anymore sick people in society so in a way , she did what was best for her and the rest of us .. You no need to brame yourself .. That what happens in rife ...she made bad decision .. Move on ... Maybe best decision for her .. Feel sorry for u .... Feel better by taking Cleveland with points .. Sharp action in them ... Real sharp !!.. Good Ruck

Exactry ..., that my point .. If you fucked up and want to die , don't fuck anyone else ... Go do it quietly .. She just big drama queen .. No feel sorry for her .. Sorry for everyone else associated with her ... People are babies .. People make their own bed in rife or death .. Like good book say " you reap what you sow !"... Me I should've had big winner with Pittsburgh other night but I push instead .. No one fault but me to believe in idiot kicker and over rated head coach ... Today , I pray and play Cleveland ... How can you make case for them ?... Anything possible in NFL and rivers not rivers this year .. If I lose wager ?, I no blame no one else .. I brame myself .. But no need to jump in front of big ass truck and mess my hair up .. Plenty of gambling action remaining and always can get loan

On a side note I have told friends and family that if I die and someone says it was suicide then something
nefarious is going on cuz I didnt kill myself.

One of my best buddies killed himself a few months before my wedding. Coming up on 10 years now and I still think about him often, almost daily.

I saw an interview once with Levon Helm from The Band that always stuck with me. I'm paraphrasing but it was something like "that was simply a decision between him and God and I try not to judge that decision."

You must be a young guy.

I used to think like you did many years ago. Now, I'm more understanding and genuinely feel sorry for a person in such a deep dark place they decided the need to take their own life was the only option.
