Tragic Old Friend Suicide

[herrubermensch]

So not board related, but I learned yesterday that one of my oldest and best friends committed suicide over the weekend after his wife of 25 years served him with divorce papers. Washed down a bottle of sleeping pills with hydrogen peroxide a/k/a bleach. His 20-something son found him and gave him CPR for 30 minutes. Died in his arms. So fucking gratuitous and tragic. A waste of a beautiful life.

I can’t imagine the demons that led him to do that. I am just so sorry I was not there to shew them away.

Treasure life, brothers, as it is fleeting.

I’m sorry for your loss brother. I have opinions on the whole subject…Your friend had demons that just wouldn’t let him go. I get it.

Sorry bro. Ive had a few friends that have committed suicide over the years. Never easy to deal with. Hope his children can get thru it. Especially around the holidays.

 

[John]

It is very fleeting.

 

[JLee]

My condolences.

 

[NeuroRN]

Sorry to hear that. Nothing easy about the whole situation.

 

[Islandswole]

Sorry for your loss bro, suicide is never easy to handle.

Easy to want to quit. My ex wife of 24 years did the same thing. Thank the gods for my sons. They came by daily to check on me. It’s a split decision. I’ve been at the door and almost opened it. It’s a tough place when you live someone with all your being and they shit on you. Still hurts years later.

I’ve been at the door and almost opened it

Good way to word it.

Sorry to hear that. I have known many people in my life to take their own lives, also work in
An industry that is used for suicide. So I have seen enough of it.

Its ok to talk to people when/if you need help.

That’s aweful brother. My condolences. So sad when we give that much power to someone else and hurt that we are willing to take our own lives. We all have had friends commit suicide. What an aweful thing to be able to say something like that but this is the age we live in.

Sorry for your loss bro. I’ve lost so many friends for the same reason. I said I would never be that guy but just months ago, I was almost that guy. It’s hard.

 

[herrubermensch]

Thanks for all of the support, guys. I knew you would understand.

 

[Jonny]

It’s always sad to hear when this happens whether you knew them or not. Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for the loss of your friend. I’ve had to deal with this more times than I’d like to remember. In my line of work it’s all to common. Having battled PTSD for many years I k is that feeling of wanting to just quit. The only reason I never did is that I didn’t want to be remembered as a coward. I wish I had words to help but I’ve never found any. Know that there wasn’t anything you could do to stop it, because your friend didn’t allow you. With One of my last friends to do it, I actually spoke with for hours a day before and I never had any idea. He seemed fine. We talked about training and diet then we had to cut him down from his parents ceiling. You just never know.
Hang in there. Be there for his son if you can , he’s going to need some support
