My friend killed himself yesterday. To all those reading this, would you please be so kind as to observe a moment of silence? Thank you very much.

That's horrible. He, his family and friends, are all in my thoughts and have my deepest sympathies. I hope you're all doing OK.

Thank you for your kindness.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear that. I lost one of my best friends about a year ago. It's really hard to get over, and even harder to believe. It's times like this that family members and friends really need to be there for each other. I hope you are able to make it through this, and to anyone else reading this, I hope you may never have to feel this pain.

Best Wishes.

I'm sorry.
I will pray for him.

Sorry to hear it. Sucks.

Thanks again, everyone.

Will do...


Gah I hate it when this happens :(

Thanks.
No problem at all.

I and those at my church will pray for his family and friends

Thanks, all.

I'm sorry. :( I also had a friend kill himself this summer.

Thanks for your sympathy. You certainly have mine.

Please pass on my deepest condolences. Any idea why he would do something like that? Had he been depressed lately or despondent?

Accept my deepest condolences, for both you and your friends family.

My condolences. I will observe a moment of silence following this post for you and your friend.

I'm sorry to hear that. Death is always hard to deal with.

Permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Thanks again, everyone.

That is horrible. I have deep sympathy for you and everyone else his death affected.

Thanks. Hey, do you think you could make one of your humorous threads? I think it might cheer me up. :)

i'm sorry. my sympathies. :(

I respect his right to self determination, the Western concept of suicide being wrong is not the only way to think.
Your friend sought a viable solution and attained it.
You should be happy for him, as he obviously believed this world held nothing else for him, or that an obstacle lay before that he could never over come by means of this life.
I offer my best wishes and prayers for his family, and hope that they may in some way veiw this from the perspective of him seeking peace.
I hope they find their solace in his.

im so sorry to hear it, rb


he didnt know

he didnt know how much it would hurt you

how much it would hurt his family

how desolate even people didnt know him well would feel.

when someone reaches that point of dispair all they can think of is their own pain. they cant think of what they are doing to everyone else

take care of yourself. try to remember the good times. dont be afraid to ask for help dealing with it.

Fuck you.

Man that must really hurt. One guy at my school threatned to kill himself and we were all shook up. To actually do it must really hurt :(

That is a real shame ... all who were hurt by his death have my sympathy.

Thanks again for your sympathy, everyone. :)

Sorry to hear that. You hear people talk about it, but you never expect it to happen.

Fuck you.

You know, there are people that celebrate death as the release from suffering, or the next step to a higher state of being. Just because someone doesn't mourn death, doesn't mean they do not hold it to be of significance, nor that they do not feel sympathy for those left behind.

In any event. My condolences on your loss Roach-Busters.

Thanks, guys.

Hurumf.

I am sorry.

Bullshit. I've felt the need to kill myself on many occasions, and every time I haven't and every time I've regretted the urge to do so. It's the wrong thing to do.

In ways suicide is like natural selection. It's just natures way. Genetics my friends, it is a great thing.

Not in every situation, my friend. For example, would you feel sadness if Osama Bin-laden killed himself?

That, however, is an extreme situation. Everyday people should not, in my opinion, feel suicidal.

I'm referring to the situation at hand. This is nothing to be happy about.

I didn't realize you could call bullshit on an opinion. There are people who view death as a blessing, or the end of one stage of existence. Try visiting a hospice if you don't believe me. Talk to the patients or their family, and they'll tell you they don't view death as a curse.

I, myself, have lost both my parents. But I don't grieve for them. They both suffered immensely, and now I think they are in a better place.

The user whose opinion you disregarded was not attempting to give disrespect, but perspective, and in a slightly different way, encouragement. I'm sorry that you don't agree with their opinions, but that's no excuse for lashing out at their good intentions.

It's natural selection! It's good for the gene pool. I just feel bad for the family and friends that have to put up with it.

Good intentions? Speaking from experience, celebrating a person who killed themselves sends the wrong message. People like that need help, not people egging them on.

Have it as you will then. I can't force you to accept any belief you don't want. However, surely we can both agree that even if you don't believe they have good intentions, that would be a matter to settle privately, and that a topic about the death of a friend isn't a place to spread ill-will.

I'll stop speaking on this matter now so as not to further derail this thread.

This may not be the right time to ask, and i may be a curious jackass, But how did your friend Die?

death, even in its proper time, causes us sorrow.
eventually we see that these deaths are just a part of life

death out of its proper time is always a tragedy and isnt to be celebrated.

no one who could understand the overwhelming pain they would be causing their friend and family members would ever kill themselves. that they do it anyway is evidence that they are not in a state where they can understand what they are doing.

It's natural selection! It's good for the gene pool. I just feel bad for the family and friends that have to put up with it.
