I found out my friend had pawned all her jewelry and died with a purse full of pills. Sigh. From the things her family told me, she was planning this for a while and I don’t think anyone could have changed her mind.
That’s one of the things when someone kills themselves like this: There are no answers. You’re just left with your own ideas about it, none of them necessarily true.
Very very sorry for your loss. I have been thinking about it since your post. I have no way to know, but I do think that protracted unemployment must have been a contributing factor.
In honor of Lyn: “Despair is not an idea, it’s a thing, a thing that tortures, squeezes, and breaks a man’s heart,….until he goes crazy and throws himself into the arms of death like the arms of a mother.” Alfred de Vigny.
Too sad.
My condolences…
I’ve never suffered the loss of someone close like this and I pray that I never will. Tragic, so tragic. And frustrating for those left behind. All the best Suzi.
