[quote=@POOHEAD189] Now I'm saying this because yes, suicide does hurt many other people. Friends and family. Now does that mean I'm glad he died? Not at all. But sometimes a suicide doesn't necessarily bring a negative impact to a group of people or a community. [/quote] I'm just pointing out these are contradictory statements...but you did admit to not reading everything presented. So I will say quickly that, also as someone who was suicidal at a time in his life. I understand the idea of not demonizing those who kill themselves and maybe trying to sympathize by wrapping your head around why someone may go to such extreme lengths, you don't want to necessarily speak ill of the dead. But... But the fact of the matter is, it DOES have negative impact on society, even people who never knew you before. It's not like normal death and it isn't right to commit suicide under any circumstances. My condolences. (To not just repeat all of what I already posted. I would strong recommend reading those links too.) http://www.sosmadison.com/coping-after-a-suicide/witnessing-or-discovering-a-suicide http://theconnectprogram.org/people-who-have-witnessed-suicide-death https://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/it-happened-me-i-saw-stranger-die
