  That word stops you in your tracks.  His death was intentional.  He murdered himself.  Why would anyone do that.  I'm bipolar...I said it.  Without medication I have thoughts, sometimes.  It's not rational.  Suicide hurts the people who care about you.

  suicide is a personal decision, drunk or not.  And, it is not about the people left behind, although we do grieve (we always grieve over a death of someone we know).
   
  It is the people left behind who need to live and let go, with love and hope that the friends decision was the right one for him or her.
   
  Everyone has the right to 'murder' themselves.  No one has the right or power to stop it from happening.
   
  Oh, one final note...suicide is not a selfish act (we do love to put people down, to build our own selves up don't we?  Dead people are easy targets and soft places for us to lay our rightness into.
   
  I don't advocate suicide, as all pain eventually passes....but I do advocate the right of people who successfully cross over due to internal pain they see no light to get out of.  I like to leave these tortured folks with positive thoughts after their death.  Just like we would if it were aunt betty who died of cancer at aged 75. 
   
  Remember all the good, it helps your soul, and the soul of the one who passed at their own hands.

  I am sorry to hear that Simply, and may God bless and guide your family during this hardship. And, She would be your second cousin.

  i read a bloog on here where something similar happened.
   
  This had to have happened for a reason.

• simplyconfused said on Oct 16, 2009....

  texkelc - It's true.  I wasn't connected to him very much so it affects others more than me.
  
  
  speaking_up - I for sure know that it's not a selfish act.  Everybody who was more connected to him agrees, and is only thinking of the positive. I hold nothing against those who chose this decision. 
  
  
  Blackmyst - Thank you.
  
  
  Unicorn - Really, hm interesting.

  Deep... and true nonetheless.
  
  Sorry for your cousin's loss. I hope she finds the strength to carry on.
