I lost my boyfriend to suicide 3 and a half years ago. I was only 14 when it happened so I definitely can relate.

Thank you I’m sorry to hear about your friends too I can imagine how much you miss them. It took me a long time to stop blaming myself for his death.

A distant relative of mine on my estranged dads side - climbed on the roof of his house - and blew himself away with a shotgun years ago. I remember it upset dad terribly, and mum said he deserved it. It didnt pry cos i was young at the time, but dads side of the family is full of dodgyness anyway.

My dad shot himself and my aunt hung herself. I have no pity for them because of what they put the family through.

I knew several people who took their own lives. I wasn’t close to all of them but their deaths shocked me.
I knew one guy in AA who killed himself. I actually first met him in 1978 when I was 17. Later, when I first got clean around 1992 or 1993 I ran into him in a meeting and he had a pretty young wife and a little baby. When I knew him in 1978, I knew his father would beat him up and the father beat his sister too. So when he died I was surprised but I could see a little why he might have done it.
A couple of people at the assisted living center where I live committed suicide. I didn’t know them well enough to say that they were my friends, but it really caught me by surprise when they took their own lives. I didn’t see any signs of it coming. I do feel bad for them and their families.
my friend Tony whom I dedicated my book to took his life while delusional…my ex fiancee took her life about three years ago…still stings…
I had a cousin who killed himself by car exhaust in a garage.
