Easy way out

At some point all of us will lose our family members/loved ones. My mother is old and has health issues and I don’t think she’ll last for too many years, likewise for my father.

I have a couple of siblings, I tried hard to make it worth with them, but now we’re distant and perhaps one day we’ll just stop talking to one another forever, because we cannot get along.

I also lost someone who was close to me to cancer a few years ago. It was very hard to take in that first year, but I got better.

While it is painful I think we’re all trying to advise you that it’s not a reason to kill yourself. You still have your friends and other relationships that matter and you matter to those people.

Granted I’ve done that thought experiment, what if I lost all my friends/family and was totally alone. I would have less reason to keep living and if I had no wife/gf, it’d be less of reason to keep living, but think of orphans, some of them end up doing very well in life.

I know things must seem bleak right now-but you can overcome this loss, as terrible as it is to endure. The choice is yours of course but if you can be objective and see that you have more reasons to live, than to not, it’s best to go on.
