Many thanks for your comment. Like you, thoug...Rob,<br />Many thanks for your comment. Like you, though I often wish I wouldn't wake up the next morning, I keep going because of family and friends. If they were not in the picture, I would surely take the easy way out. Now that I'm on the other end of a suicide, I know what it's like and I could not cause such pain for others. Thanks again.4-Lornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731350197969553175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681167743419979031.post-31293205357447574852012-09-04T16:20:42.436-07:002012-09-04T16:20:42.436-07:00I am sorry for your loss. I realize that since yo...I am sorry for your loss. I realize that since you wrote this blog entry, it may appear to you that it is all about you. From my perspective, I see a friend attempting to share his love, compassion, and grief over the loss of a friend. That is NOT seeking pity.<br /><br />Four years ago, I lost a friend to suicide. Having lived with depression for most of my life, I can fully appreciate the seductiveness of suicide. I remain alive because there are people in my life who would be impacted. I would be deluding myself to believe otherwise. It is entirely possible that by my death I might cause my illness to manifest itself in someone who has never been impacted. That is what keeps me alive. I do not care about myself, but I could not bear to bring pain to someone I love.<br /><br />Again, I am sorry for the burden that you carry and for the loss of your friend. Please remember ... you are NOT alone.Robnoreply@blogger.com
