Suicide is a violent act

I got deleted a few months ago for saying so. Well, he’s finally done it after so many threats, and actually, yes it was violent to him and everyone who loved him. It wasn’t film epic, it didn’t turn him into a martyr, it was a sad, pitiful, violent end. And it should be acknowledged. Deleting the truth helps no one.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Navigating the grieving process as a result of suicide is so hard and full of conflicting emotions. You have a right to express the reality of suicide as you see it right now

You can express it, not everyone will agree with you. Sorry for your loss.

I agree @OppsUpsSide

Is this your ex, OP? I agree with you that it really can be like that. Every case is different, though, and I'd hate anyone who was really suffering from the loss of a child to think of it in that way.

I'm so sorry. I hope that you can say more about this as you sound so like you need to. Flowers for you.

Gosh, reading that was like a kick in the chest. We lost our lovely Aunty to suicide in May. She was 78 and had been on her own throughout the pandemic. She just wouldn’t bend the rules and visit us or have visitors.
It’s so shocking. It’s the most awful thing I can think that someone can do. What makes it worse is that I tried to commit suicide 14 years ago. I remember feeling so empty, so detached and alone and now I’m completely broken that my Aunty possibly felt that way too.
There is going to be an inquest. Violent could be the word, my reaction on hearing the news was like someone had punched me. I’d like to think it was very calm and peaceful but it can’t have been really. I’m so sorry for your loss.
