I found out two days ago that my ex committed suicide last week, It feels weird but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it,
We haven’t been together or spoken for nearly 8 years but I keep thinking What if he had reached out to me and what if I could have helped him or even tried to understand what he’d being going though.
I wish I could have done something to help him.

when your clock is out. its out. there really isnt anything you could do. it is a weird feeling though. it doesnt feel devastating, yet it isnt all too simple to cope with and forget in a day. whatever his reason, im a positive the after life is much greater that the life on earth. but we shouldnt be on such a rush to leave because their is so much to learn. just focus on the good times. dont let their memory be forever tainted by a single action.
I know in my heart that I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to stop him, and I know he was a completely different person now to the person I loved all those years ago, But its more difficult not knowing the reason why he did it. My memories of him will always be happy ones, just difficult to accept that he’s gone, seems so silly, that I probably wouldn’t feel like this if he had passed on any other way.
yeah i know. my friend recently committed suicide and he had a life most would envy. i like to think he was just tired. not necessarily of life but just exhausted, make sense? its true you wouldnt feel this way if he had died in a car accident or something. its because it was on purpose. just know the reason was he just wanted to move on. dont know from what, or why or who. and thats the way it should remain, a mystery. i think its best when everyone can take a guess as to why. i think it satisfies more than being told why they commit suicide.
I think it is just going to suck for awhile, because there is probably always going to be some corner of your mind that wonders what if I…. (fill in the blank). Sometimes I think people in general are oblivious to other’s pain, because they have so much of their own. Much like how people I interact with every day at work have no idea that I want to kill myself.
If you haven’t seen each other for 8 years your most likely very very different people then the person 8 years ago anyway.
