Very sorry for your loss .....
One of my buds shot himself at age 15. I often wonder why someone so young could give up so easily.
I never saw it coming.
So sorry you carry that grief.
It’s fine. I just needed to vent to someone and that’s hard for me to do when I’ve always felt like I was at fault when I wasn’t there to prevent what happened.
It happened because he had gone to the same party and I knew he would be in danger, as we all knew he would do some crazy things once he was high as a kite and a few of us looked out for him and it worked. However, I told my friend hosting said party, I will call (Greg) to take my close friends keys once he arrived because we knew he was ready to get stoned. But amid having all the things going on around him, Greg forgot and carried on getting sidetracked, so I know it wasn’t his fault when I could have been there earlier, I however, was really busy at the time and wasn’t even thinking about it when I should have.
And you’re not alone with a friend shooting him self, but I know he loved his wife and child very dearly and put an end to himself by his .357 Magnum revolver to his head.
I guess he felt as I do about his love for his wife and child just as I do when you carry very deep feelings for your mate and child that you feel you can’t live without them. So I understand this when I wish he hadn’t. But he and his wonderful family are gone and no one saw it coming. He was very good at hiding his feelings.
He left a note for his sister because he knew she was to arrive the day he shot himself. So you can imagine how his sister felt once she came and saw his lifeless body on the living room floor ... but she’s dealing with the loss as best she can. She’s a strong woman and I admire her for her courage.
He too was a close friend from my childhood.
This incident happened not long ago and triggered my pain for both friends I lost.
Some are just good at hiding their pain.
Thank you for your kind words, and your time.
