My beautiful friend ended his life

We knew he had problems and tried to love and support him as best we could. I know he wouldn't have wanted to hurt anyone with this and that he chose the only way he could, but that doesn't make it any less painful for those of us who loved him so very much. I just don't know what to do. I miss him so very, very much. He was a gentle soul and had so much love to give to his friends Sad

So very sorry for your loss

So sorry OP, I have recently lost my brother in law the same way. I highly recommend 'a special scar' by Alison Wertheimer Thanks

Bless your heart; that's so difficult. Sounds like you have found the courage to accept that he felt he had no choice. Why don't you call the Samaritans to see if they can signpost you to organisations to support you. When you feel ready it might also help to make a memory box or photo book of him to capture your memories of time spend together. Be kind to yourself at this difficult time. Hugs x

I found out that this happened to someone I care recently. I'm heartbroken for her and her family. She struggled for a long time. Flowers to you.

Thank you all. It was so sudden. I feel heart broken.

What do you do on a beautiful day like this when your heart is hurting so much? We had plans for this week. There is nowhere to go that doesn't hold memories but it's just too raw Sad
