This is to JMoses, babyangle and many others. Please rethink this! My son did his suicide by this method. Yes, in 1-3 breaths you are gone. BUT you leave a wake of destruction behind. There is no reason anyone should do this. Please talk to someone other than people who want to do this. My son was not at peace or peaceful looking when he passed. This way turns your skin black, it burns the fat out of your nose, it burns your eyes out.  I an not joking here it does do all of this. The person does not look like selves after doing this. My son who was 21, almost 22 yrs old had his whole life ahead of him. He was loved, needed and wanted very much. He had diabetes and had to take shots and was depressed by it. He had diabetes for 5 yrs so it was nothing new and it did not erase debt like he thought it would. It creates more debt for the ones left behind. A funeral costs about 7 thousand dollars and then you have to buy a marker also…more money. There is always a way to make life better! Please rethink this awful end to your life. Talk to someone, get help, life is worth living!

I’ll be very honest here: when I read posts like this, I sometimes wonder “better for WHO” ?
It seems that you are his parents, and please forgive me for being a bit to-the-point (the Truth is always to-the-point, and not always in a form of a ‘sugary-sweet’ words you want to hear, but it’s still Truth nevertheless):
when you said that it “did not erase debts, funeral costs about 7 thousand dollars, then you have to buy a marker”, buy this, debt this, etc etc, does it ever occur to you that all of this you’re basically still talking about YOU, but not your SON?
Let me ask you this: have you ever truly, and I really mean *sincerely* sit down with your son, and really sincerely ask him how is he doing, and just BE there to listen to all his outpourings from heart, and give him a shoulder to cry on?
or, did you often find yourself judging him, saying “stop being so whiny, stop being such a crybaby” without trying to UNDERSTAND him at the first place?
Have you truly connected with his HEART and soul,
or you have always talked & talked only about school, job, money, status, and all other material things?
have you ever wondered and sincerely asked what HE (your son) truly feels, not always on what YOU feel or wanted from him to become?..
And last but not least, when Life seems to be very rough for your son, have you ever truly be THERE, loving him just as he IS,
or you have often found yourself COMPARING your son with other “normal” kids/sons, and neglect his needs, or even as simple as his yearning voice from his deepest heart?..
Please I kindly ask yourself to reflect & ask these questions, *before* continue talking about “funeral costs, buy a marker” buy this, cost this, debt this, etc etc.
Money is not everything, and in fact, it is often the source of evil in this damn materialistic world. No wonder many people nowadays got depressed and suicidal because of it, and especially if added more with all judgemental attitude and comparison etc, instead of LOVE.
That is what’s wrong with today’s society.
Please think and reflect for a moment about this. thank you.
I’m diabetic, and to be honest I dont think you know what it means to actually BE diabetic. You dont know how much insulin to take or how painful the shot may be no matter its size. I suffer from severe depression and I cut A LOT. Since Im diabetic my cuts dont heal the way they should. Thats just the way I like it. Seems to me like you didnt even try to understand your sons problems, and that all you care about is how much his funeral is going to cost. Which is a bit selfish on your part.
