El Damn-o
I found out this morning that a friend of mine committed suicide.

She and I worked together for about five years, and we were part of the fight when my psycho ex-boss took over that company. She was one of the good guys. She thought that a group of us could overrun him and keep the ship afloat and ethical. I thought differently, and we had a lot of discussions about it. I left amidst an open war with the psycho, she stayed, and they gave her the first partnership offer after I turned mine down. I thought it was a huge mistake to accept it, but she did.

Right about that time, her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She stayed at that company for a few more years, and apparently just ground to a halt. She was the sole caregiver of her mother, and work was going badly from the little I heard.

She stopped talking to me not long after I left that company, which was quite sad. Wouldn't return e-mails, wouldn't return calls. I figured it was just because of the work rift stuff, and a lot of it probably was, but I never dreamed that things were that bad for her internally, that something like this would happen. She was bright and resilient, and a great person.

Apparently she cared for her mother until she had to be institutionalized for good this past week, and then she killed herself afterwards.

Dammit. I would've helped her. I would've given her a job. Whatever. It shouldn't have turned out like this.

I mean, if you're headed for a life sentence without possibility of parole or death row perhaps I could understand but even in prison extraordinary people can lead a productive life.

Kevin,

Man this stinks, I know first hand the hurt a friend can feel when someone they know chooses to take their own life. Just know that they were in a lot of emotional pain and most likely there was nothing you could have done to solve that. My deepest sympathy.

...I think a person who kills himself hurts more than we can possibly imagine. I don't know. We can consider how much pain we feel when we are left behind but do you think it is possible that our pain pales in comparison to the pain that the person killing themselves feel before they do it?

I can't imagine being so miserable I would want to kill myself. Her life must have seriously sucked. I'm sorry for the pain she was in and I'm sorry for her family.

Condolences and prayers on the loss, Kevin. Just last week, one of my wife's female classmates attempted to commit suicide. The doctors had just given her husband 3 years to live(cancer), and apparently she couldn't take it.

However; in my wife's friends' case, she attempted suicide by shooting herself in the stomach, which in my opinion is more a cry for help than truly trying to end it all. Hopefully, she can now receive the console she needs.

In all cases, these stories are heartbreakingly tragic...

I'm really sorry to hear this, Rain Man. You were a good friend. It's a real shame she didn't keep in touch with you. On the other hand, it could be that virtually all of her dispair was centered on her mom's condition, her exhaustion from providing care, and irrational guilt for having to put her in an institution, and that nothing you or anyone else could have done would have made a difference.

Once again, I'm very sorry for your loss.
