re: Suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death in the US

Its horrible but so is the attitudes towards it. I’ve experienced suicide with some close family members and friends. Gut wrenching when it happens but I don’t blame them for anything. Incredibly sad but we have no idea what they are going through internally and therapy isn’t always the answer.

I agree with you. My dad committed suicide in 2010 after a few years of battling depression. He was on different medications and received therapy, both one on one and in a group setting. We knew he still faced demons each night but thought he was doing good at the time of his death. The signs were there but weren’t looking for them and just missed them. His depression was related to his time in Vietnam. I don’t fault him for what he did anymore but i was very angry for awhile. The worldly problems are over for the them but the families are left to deal with it. My dad has been gone for 8 years and it hurts but time heals all wounds.
