Have you lost anyone to suicide?!
Question: Have you lost anyone to suicide!?
A year ago my best friend killed himself!. I feel that I could have been there for him more than what I was!. I have kept this feeling with me for a whole year now and I just don't know how to move on and change the way I'm thinking about the whole situation!. I feel like I'm the worst friend and I have been pushing my other friends away worried I might be a bad friend to them!. There is a a lot to this story but I won't go into all the detail!. But before he did it he told me he had already tried it once!.I was very scared and didn't know what to do!. I wished I would have told everyone that loved him!. But I called his Father and told him the whole story that I had heard!.Anyone who has been through the same thing will you please let me know how you got through it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

someone in my family who i thought died apparantly committed suicide, but i did not know them at all so it didn't affect me!. you shouldn't feel guilty, you couldn't have changed anything and i'm sure you were an amazing friend to him!. you obviously cared about him alot and i bet you were there for him any time he needed!. his problems were too much for him to handle, how do you expect yourself to handle them!? you couldn't have done anything more!. you say you're pushing your other friends away, but i'm sure they realise the bond you had with your friend and realise the pain you're going through!. if someone so desperately wants to kill themselves, there's nothing you can do to stop them, they have to make that decision for themselves!. i'm very sorry for your loss and i hope you start to cope a little better!. you'll always remember the good times you had and as long as they stay with you you'll be fine!.

My Mom died from an overdose of prescription drugs & alcohol!. It was DEVESTATING!. She was going downhill the last 2 years of her life and I finally had to make the decision to walk away!. It was the hardest thing I've ever done but her problems were taking over my life!. Of course now that she's gone I regret not being there for her!. I will never forgive myself for the way she died all alone!. It has gotten a little easier over time but not much!. It's been almost 2 years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Distant family member killed themselves!. Didn't know them that well!. Although my situation is vaguely similar to yours, its also a hell of a lot different too!.
I have been in another situation that's almost similar only last month though!.
There was a boy i went to school with, year older than me, didn't know him very well, we never really spoke to eachother properly, but we had been to school together for three years!.
Last month he went to a party, and he died due to a horrible accident!. He was only fourteen, soon to be fifteen!.
Even though i was sad, i didn't know him that well, so it could barely affect me, as bad as i felt!. Two of my friends were best mates with him though, and they have has a really s*** time!.
One friend fell out with him about a weeks before it happened, and they hadn't made up again!. She's regretted that constantly!. The other friend blames himself for the guys death, because it was him who was holding the party, even though all the officials involved reassured everyone that his death was a complete accident and couldnt be prevented!.
I know i can't relate to you, but you have to understand nothing gets helped if you blame yourself and keep looking back on what you COULD have said to them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you have to realize it isn't your fault!. and don't push your friends away that isn't good for you or them!. its not your fault you couldn't have stopped him!. suicidal people no matter how much we try will still do it!. i tryed to prevent it before but it didn't help!. there is nothing you can do once they really want it!. and your friend wouldn't want you to think its your fault or not be able to get over it!. as you see life is way to short don't live with regret or alone!. be with your friends and make the best of life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
