I have known 4 people that committed suicide in my lifetime, nothing prepares you for the shock of being told that they are gone,.
Ive never really been shocked, but I was in certain disbelief when told that one particular person I knew had done it.
He was outgoing, kind, generous, successful business, good wife, grown-up kIds doing well, enjoying his hobbies..
I truly didn't believe it at first.
He was hiding it very well, then he just spiralled way way down.
One can keep building up the dam wall more and more to hold back the problem-maintaining a pretence, then one day
the artificial banks can burst with dramatic catastrophic results.
but all humans eventually die for one reason or another because something in them fails,
be it their mind, their hope or will to live, immune system , organs, etc. ..but there are stigmatisms attached to certain
causes of death, some more so than others.
On the bright side, Rat poison, bullet or jumping off a bridge may be better than yrs of destructive drinking and drugging
ones way to an eventual end, considering all the grief and cost one causes to society in the lingering drawn out process.
