My friends dad commited
suicide on Monday. He jumped in front of a
train,
The thing is, i know he had his reasons, but think about
everyone else.
He
had three children and a wife, they are now in
mouring.
His
daughters best friend spent the day at school today crying her
eyes out.
The train
driver who hit him is now traumatised and probably having
counciling to help him deal with the fact he killed a
man.
The
paramedic who had to scrape his body off the tracks will not
recover from what he has seen and done.
F^ck it, I know that all anyone wants to hear when they
think of suside is about the poor person who felt driven
to commit it, but it effects everyone else as well.
God knows I've thought about it before, even came close to
actually doing it once.
But the
reality is that
you can't give
up, because it's the people you
want to hurt the least that end up with
the biggest aches in their
hearts.
You may get out
of it all, but they never will.
My dad tried to kill himself two
years ago, seeing him in intesive care was bad enough.
I don't know what
I would have done
if he had actually succeeded.
Please, susisde isn't a way out, it's a way to
condemn others to the pain we once
felt.
Keep on fighting, no matter
how hard it gets, just don't give
up.
Thoughts and prayers with my friend and her family right
now.
