Is committing suicide by someone who has suffered tremendous loss excusable?

I agree that people who respond this way to suicide are assholes... but that doesn’t mean it’s not selfish. It’s pretty much the most selfish decision anyone could make. Having said that, I can certainly empathize with people who are feeling that low. I can’t imagine having to deal with that kind of hurt and depression.

We only get one chance at life. Then its eternal nothingness.

I just cant fathom purposely ending my life for any reason. I want to live to 100 and see crazy shite.

I have no wife or kids so take it fwiw


Point being its just something most people cant relate to and its tough to comment on or even consider

I struggle with the concept of human freedom vs. the inherent value of human life. I can't put myself in the position of someone who has lost their family, nor am I in a position to judge him or her. However, my religious beliefs teach me that all life is valuable, and that anyone's death will affect others.

It is absolutely a selfish act.

Guy I knew well in high school recently killed himself.

He watched his mom suffer horribly from Huntington’s Disease while growing up. He was recently diagnosed with it. Chose to kill himself. Wasn’t married and didn’t have kids.

I don’t know that I wouldn’t have made the same choice

If I lost my wife and kids I’d check out too

But first I’d go get a bunch of hookers and blow

Understandable yes, excusable, no.

Thou shalt not judge
