Sorry for your loss.
I had a friend do this about nine years ago. He had gone off his medications and did the deed. I found that experience harder on me than I expected.
As for the doubters, sympathy costs nothing. I'd rather express sympathy than cynicism.

You need to remeber that you still have the ability to talk to him just because he is not on a phone or right in front of you does not mean he cant hear you. Sit down and talk to him tell him everything you feel, cause not one person on this line will hear what you really need to say but him anyway.
god bless

Golly some of the people who post on here are savage.
Remember the boy who cried wolf. The wolf DID come.
Just suppose that there is a factual base to what the young girl is saying.
Aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves.
If it is a fabrication - you don't know that for sure.
Why would you not err on the side of caution.
One good thing about this site is that anyone who is reasonable and thinks they might be interested in someone else can follow their posts.
You insensitive and thoughtless fellows have shown yourselves as such.
My suggestion to you is to apologize quickly on this thread for your foolish remarks and hope that this lesson brings you to thinking a bit prior to posting such folly.
ANY woman worth her salt would follow your comments and block you from EVER contacting her. So get busy and apologize - even if you think your assessment was accurate. Your folly may cost you much more than you intended.
PS - It is posts like this one that have turned people away from the act of suicide.
Get some face to face counsel my dear and don't pay attention to the people who make mistakes on responding without thinking.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I know blogs like these do help but it wont make the hurt go away. Seek out grief therapy and talk to your pastor. If you don't attend a particular church right now just find a minister it will help.
Talking does help - don't keep it bottled up.
Good luck and God bless.

I hope this article helps - I found it online for you. People who commit suicide have a chemical imbalance in their brains - just know suicide is not your fault and not your friends fault. He's with the angels now and God is holding him in his hands.

Suicide linked to brain changes
The brains of people who commit suicide are chemically different to those who die from other causes, a Canadian study has suggested.
Researchers analysed brain tissue from 20 dead people and, in those who killed themselves, they found a higher rate of a process that affects behaviour.
Writing in Biological Psychiatry, they said it appeared environmental factors played a part in the changes.
And they said the discovery opened up a new avenue of research.
This is exciting new evidence that genetic and environmental factors may interact to produce specific and long-lasting modifications in brain circuits
John Krystal, Biological Psychiatry editor
The researchers, from the University of Western Ontario, Carleton University and University of Ottawa, analysed tissue from 10 people who had a serious depressive disorder and had committed suicide and 10 who had died suddenly from other causes, such as a heart attack.
They found that the DNA in the suicide group was being chemically modified by a process normally involved in regulating cell development, called methylation.
It is methylation which shuts down the unwanted genes in a cell - so the necessary genes are expressed to make a cell a skin cell rather than, for example, a heart cell.
The rate of methylation in the suicide brains was almost 10 times that of the other group, and the gene that was being shut down was a chemical message receptor that plays a major role in regulating behaviour.
In the paper, the researchers suggest this reprogramming could contribute to the "protracted and recurrent nature of major depressive disorder".
Previous research has suggested that changes to the methylation process can be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors called epigenetics.
Modifications 'shape life'
Dr Michael Poulter, who led the research, said: "The whole idea that the genome is so malleable in the brain is surprising, because brain cells don't divide.
"You get dealt your neurons at the start of life, so the idea that there are still epigenetic mechanisms going on is pretty unusual."
He said the findings of the study opened up a new avenue of research and potential therapies for depression and suicidal tendencies.
John Krystal, the editor of Biological Psychiatry, said: "This is exciting new evidence that genetic and environmental factors may interact to produce specific and long-lasting modifications in brain circuits.
"Further, these modifications may shape the course of one's life in extremely important ways, including increasing the risk for major depressive disorder and perhaps suicide."
