Yep, that's where I'm at right now. I would beat the living shite out of him right now if I could.
Pissed off, hurt, upset, damn near every emotion you can experience is what I'm feeling right now. I don't even know if I'll hit submit when I'm done typing this, but sometimes you have to get it out.

I stood in this assholes wedding exactly 2 months ago and couldn't have been more happy for him. Things were really on an upswing for him. He has a beautiful wife he loves dearly. He had gotten a new job that he was really enjoying too. He constantly was texting me telling me about something from work.

I get up this morning and check facebook real quick and see his wife posted a link to his obituary. I'm immediately shocked. WTF happened and why haven't I gotten a call. I read the obituary and find out this happened Thursday. He had Cystic Fibrosis, which the life expectancy is only around 32 years. He was 28.
I figured it was that, or he wrapped the Mustang 5.0 he just bought around a tree.
Usually when he gets sick or anything, he calls me. He text me from work Wednesday and died Thursday, so that tells me it couldn't have been CF. It doesn't take people down that fast.

I finally got in touch with some other friends and they all knew, but no one thought to call me. Everyone assumed I already knew for some reason. Come to find out, the a-hole took his own life and his wife found him.

I went from being very upset to extremely pissed off about as fast as humanly possible. How could anyone be so selfish? Why the frick didn't he call me if things were that bad?

He did some things that struck me odd the last year, I event talked to him about it. I never thought he would take anything this far. When the story on Robin Williams came out, you could see it struck him funny. He kept wanting to talk about that. He wasn't happy at his job so he just up and quit. He refused to be unhappy and he said so.

I had some of the best times of my life with this guy. Last night my fiance and I were talking and I told her I was going to call him this week to ask him to be in my wedding. Guess now I'll have a fricking cardboard cutout of him.

That's the million dollar question; Robin Williams wife would like to know this too.

Apparently it was something he didn't want you to know about

It's natural to be angry and upset

But if someone's suicidal, selfishness doesn't enter into it. They are not acting rationally. Asking them to take things like selfishness into account is a lost cause. The best you can do is stop them from harming themselves, and get them help when the immediate crisis passes. And sometimes you can't do that, especially if they're keeping their troubles to themselves.

Mourn for him, and remember him for the good friend he was. Be angry at times, but don't let it ruin your memory of him.

Damn man I am sorry for your loss. I have been in a similar situation.

Really sucks you had to find out on facebook and that you were called. That is extra rough.

It sounds selfish to take your own life. However depression is a terrible thing that doesn't let people think rationally.

Don't beat yourself up and try not to be too mad at him. He was obviously not in his right mind when he took his own life.

Anger is normal.

Some people don't want help. We are all going to die, some people just don't have the patience to wait another 50 years.

Life is different to everyone. Things like getting married, etc sometimes people hope that will change things. But sometimes nothing helps.

It's selfish to only those left behind, and frustrating because you feel you were denied the opportunity to help. Or even say goodbye.

Don't be mad at him, you have no idea what he was going through or what kind of pain he was in at the time.
