Absolutely tragic.
This again been a pretty bad week. Not for me personally, but for another friend of mine. There's no right way to say this. I found out on Tuesday that a friend of mine from work, that her 16 yr old son shot himself outside there home sometime saturday night while both her and her b/f were away. To say the least I was stunned for the simple fact that I had talked to her bout her son's depression problems awhile back and a couple months ago when I talked to her bout him she said the counseling was going well and he was doing better. But he still did this.
Some girls from work and myself went to the funeral Thursday. Although it was the last thing we wanted to do, it was still the right thing. I know it meant alot to her that we went. I won't lie. Other than the funerals of my close family members, that was the hardest funeral I have ever attended. For one, to see my friend and her family in so much pain was excruciating(sp). A very emotional service that with every minute more and more tears fell down my face for I was so sad to see a life that could have been long and wonderful, over by his own choice.
Like I said, I don't have the right words. I just know it was horrible. I even feel unexpectedly changed. I have never known anyone who has done this or someone close to them done this. I do know that for his family the pain will be heavy. I only hope they have the strength to with time, go on from this.
