a friend's suicide

lady cop · 02-10-2006, 02:46 PM

i'm in shock. one of my dearest friends of 18 years just told me how her husband went in the next room and shot himself in the head. she told me all the horror she was experiencing, the anger, the grief. he was my friend as well, we spent so many wonderful days together out in keys waters, diving, fishing, cooking up the catch at night. the annual fourth of july sandbar parties off islamorada, i even gave him my pet bird because he adored him. i'm stunned. i haven't cried yet, but i know i will, memories are starting to wash over me like a flood. my friend is never going to be the same. i suppose all i can do is let her talk about it all she needs to.

I'm so very sorry, LC. I had 2 dear friends do the same thing. One was shortly after talking to me on the phone. You go through many emotions. You & your friend will be in my thoughts & prayers.

Oh LC how awful for you and your friend. Don't hold anything back the crying is part of healing and you know we are all here for you.

LC, hopefully the words will come to you to comfort your friend,

and in so doing, you will be helping yourself too. I'm sorry for your loss.

We will never be able to understand what goes through someones mind the moment they decide to end their life. I have experienced both family and friends who have lost their loved ones this way, so I understand how devestated you must feel. My thoughts are with you
