It is always sad to hear about someone killing themselve. Sorry this is so close to you. I will pray.

Thank you, Becky. I really didn't know her all that well, but it still hurts knowing she took her life. I just hope she is in God's hands.

Such a sad loss, talk about it to a counsellor if you need to it must be a great shock.

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. It's always sad to hear about someone committing suicide. It's a bad way to go, I believe.

First of all I feel sorry for that poor girl that didn't get any help and ended up committing suicide,it's sad and a sad waste of a young life. Secondly I am appauled when poeple that could give a rats ass about someone while alive is sad when they are gone,I know I am going to be called on this stance but it's just over the top for me. So many time I go to funerals and hear people saying "oh what a sweet boy it's so sad" and the week before they would turn their head when he walked by out of disgust because he was a drug addict. This is truely a wakeup call WE ARE OUR BROTHERS KEEPER . Either people need to help each other in life or we can just all watch each other die.

This must be terrible for you,knowing that she needed help,but wasn't getting any.

I know I felt a respocibility when a friend of my nieces commited suicide..and I didn't even know him!I think it's just human nature to feel deep sorrow when someone commits suicide.

i strongly agree with post #5, well said!!

:(

so sorry to hear... sending best wishes.

I agree with #5 somewhat but people are also human and you cant help but feel remorse even if you may not of gotten along with someone. So i'm kinda in between on it all.

I had a cousin commit suicide several years ago. We were not close but I still couldn't help but to keep thinking, "Damn it Beth! Why didn't you call me and tell me it was that bad!!???" It takes time to get over the suicide of a person. We always feel may be we could have done something to help.

reply number 5, i agree with you on so many levels. But i did have my reasons for keeping my distance from her. Firstly, she knew, months ago, maybe up to a year ago, i am bi-polar. Secondly, I kept having trouble with her, as did alot of other people. She hit my car with her vehicle, busted her vehicle's rear window, in the process, was out there cleaning up the glass, told her upstairs neighbor, it happened because her car dropped its tranny. ( now, for that to be true, the vehicle could not be driven, but she did drive it out to park it on the street) SHE NEVER ONCE CONFESSED TO US THAT SHE HIT OUR CAR, but we could clearly see the paint mark from her car on ours and our paint on hers. She once threatened to run me over, while in one of her rants due to her bi-polar. So, i swore to keep my distance from her,. and i managed to do so. All i know, all this happened months ago, so i know i had no part in her suicide. I do feel bad that she felt no other way out of her pain that she felt suicide was the only way out.

i understand your sadness and conflict all too well and wish you all the best in healing.

i don't expect anyone to really understand this (i don't quite understand how it works myself), but i feel so very guilty about the suicide of my birth mother, which happened when i was about 4 and half, well after she had already given me up.

i guess i just have a bad case of the 'what ifs'...like would what if she would have had a harder time checking out if she had a toddler hanging around...then again...maybe it would have been easier...since being bp single mom must be hard...but then what if having me around would have made her look harder for a mate...

you see the circular conversations this leads into...and it's not like i would have had any control over it in the 'real' and 'logical' world...but it seems my emotions don't really care about a rational real world...

anyway...i think that's the main thing suicide survivors of any kind are left with...whether it be mothers and fathers or children or the people down the street...

at some level...there are questions and wishes that one could have done something more for the person to avoid such a circumstance...when a lot of the time...

it's likely no one could have...

the great suicide script writer in their head has just won out...

and all we can do is hope that they are finally at peace.

i truly believe that if a person has mental illness, and does something like this, God forgives them and they go to heaven.
