This is a warning for those who will get angry at some different types of views on suicide here. I also get kinda graphic halfway through.
Well other than working my ass off i have mostly just been trying to help a few friends cope with this whole suicide thing. Of course i doubt i am actually helping at all though. See i have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I honestly don't think anyone should be feeling down or bad because of his actions. He chose them. When someone makes up their mind to do something there really is no way to stop them. We can't be there for someone 24/7 365 days a year. We could try, but in reality there is just no possible way to. My mom was there for my real dad numerous times when he attempted suicide. He had slit his wrists before, but my mom was there to bring him to the hospital. He tried to hang himself, but my mom got there before he died. He tried to shoot himself in the head, but my mom was there. But as i said, you can't be there all the time, and he did finally kill himself. Suicide effects me much differently than most others. When i hear of it, it just makes my very angry. Because the person that did it doesn't think of what they are doing. They only think of themself, and mainly they do not think about how they are going to hurt their family and friends. I see that as very selfish. He only thought of himself. Any pain he was feeling because of his family life and everything else has been completely negated by the pain that he has caused everyone else by his stupid action. So honestly i don't think we should feel bad and be down for a long time about this. Honestly we might have been able to stop him on friday, but how about the next friday, or the friday after that or anydawy. No one can always be there for someone, maybe 99% of th time, but not always. Of course everyone will most likely miss him. And since he had to go that far i do hope that he is in a better place in his mind. It doesn't necessarily have to be heaven or hell, but just a place where there are no problems. So i do say rest in peace to Jim.
I'm sorry if i pissed anyone off by this update. But i just have a different view on this because it happened to my father, and to my family.
