Don't feel guilty

[skinnyj]

Kelly I am really sorry that this happened and I know its going to be hard to understand why he would do something like this. I dont know his situation and Im not going to pretend that I know anything about him because I dont. I do know however that when someone takes thier own life its because they have gone through so much that they cant handle it anymore. You shouldnt feel guilt about losing touch with him. It wasnt your fault that this happened. You probably couldnt have stopped it either if you had still been close to him. Like you said he had a lot of friends and he will be missed by all of them. It obviously was something deeper then a lost friendship that caused this. The only advice I have for you right now is that probably nothing you could have done would have changed this so dont dwell on it. Try to remember the good times you had with him and how good he made you feel. The greatest service you can pay to a departed friend is to never forget the good they made you feel. As long as you always remember him he will

For what it's worth, Kelly, I'm sorry.

I've lost plenty of people, though never to suicide. So while I can express my understanding how horrible grief feels, I do not understand how helpless it must feel to hear that a friend took their own life. I cannot offer you solace; death has a way of taking that from people for a long time. On the other hand, I can offer you a bit of insight. I've found that I've dealt with each death differently, but I've learned from each one. Hopefully in recalling all the good times you had with him, you learn something about yourself. I know you and I may not be too chummy or anything, but as RoB says, 'My door is always open.' Take care of yourself, and don't forget to just sit down and think about what's happened.
