I am very sorry to hear of this news LC.
Please accept my condolences.

This is obviously a hard time for you and your friend, but at least she does have friends like yourself to help her through it.

Yep it's a crying shame, especially when it comes without any warning. I know how you feel, 4 years ago I had a friend who worked for me, and he just brought his 4 kids & wife to our companies "Family day" picnic, our families had lunch together. He seemed fine, later that night when the family went to sleep, he went out into the garage, closed the garage door, got into the car, started it, and was found the next morning. He left a note, all it said was: "I can't go on"! We were all in shock filled grief!!!

(You & your friend will be in my thoughts & prayers)

Oh LC....my prayers are with you and your friend. Just be there for her to vent as much as she needs to. It does helps alot to have someone to lean on. Hugs to you.

no Jives, he wasn't a cop. although cops are prone to it. i wonder if when someone is in extremis like that, if they think about what they will put their loved ones through? the suffering and guilt. the horror. the questions. and to let her discover him. she said "why?? why did he leave me???"

I think to take your own life is both selfish and brave, its the family and friends that are left behind who really suffer..

always wondering!!!!!
