Has anyone thought of ways to make it less painful on those close to us? I know the suicide of someone close is going to be painful, no matter how you try to justify it to the people who are left behind. However, there have to be things we CAN do to make it go along smoother. Has anyone given it much thought? I suppose a lot can be done in your suicide note by just assuring that it was your decision and that there is nothing that anyone could have done to make you change your mind.

I think that breaking all contact with them, having no next of kin and ensuring that the never know is the only way to avoid causing distress.
I think the most vital part of easing the blow to others is the suicide note. Take the time to address any worries your loved ones may have. For instance you may write something like “please know that nothing you did caused or allowed this to happen”. If you write a good page or two, possibly even addressing each person individualy it would likely go a long way towards helping them not only to absorb the blow, but to recover thereafter.
I agree with with Duke and Scar504. You start by doing what Duke said but make sure to leave the note for when they find it. Im also trying to figure out a way that i can have my funeral all paid off before hand. I bet its easy when your old, but when your 26 people give you weird looks.
All I can say if you want to cut contact with them is don’t leave with a bad moment. Don’t make the last time you see them the worst time between you and them.
