One of my car friends killed himself last weekend. 56. He retired 2 years ago and moved to Florida. Guess he found his life not worth it anymore. May have been depressed not sure. Leaves a wife and college daughter behind. He moved to Florida so her college would be in state tuition.

Going to visitation tomorrow. I don't know why I'm posting but suicide isn't the answer.. Not sure what the question is but it's not the answer. My sister suffered/suffers from depression.
 
Talking to professionals is okay. FAA may not like it but as we've talked about before health before flying!
 
So sorry for the loss of a friend.
 
Sorry for your loss,suicide is preventable,it's not easy,most people don't recognize the symptoms.or-choose to ignore them.
 
Leave's pain behind, for sure. Maybe he needed to go, for his own reasons. . .

Think on the life, perhaps, and not how it ended?
 
> ". . . suicide isn't the answer.. Not sure what the question is . . ."

I recall reading Camus' The Stranger the author stating that suicide is actually the only question.
 
Condolences on losing a friend. I can't say anything about the suicide because my opinions on the topic are not even close to politically correct.
 
Sorry you lost a friend. Let his family know you care. Pray for them. They have a tough road ahead and will never be the same.

I have known a few people who have committed suicide one a young guy (extremely bipolar) wife and kids. Another a guy in his 70s facing going back into a hospital for an operation and just couldn't deal with it. The other a guy with terminal cancer who just wanted to go out on his own terms.

What I have learned is that you can't take your logical rational mind and try to come to grips with why someone does this because it doesn't make sense. What you can do is be vigilant and supportive if you know someone who is in a bad place get them help. It only takes one bad day.
 
Sad visitation. The widow who I've met a couple times over the years hugged me with so much force I could feel her pain. Fortunately she has 12 brothers/sisters for support.

The scuttle butt is that he was concerned over health insurance. His wife quit her job up here in Ohio and moved to Florida on the hope of dropping into a job... They're mid 50s. So they were sans healthcare.

Having a Catholic Mass tomorrow which I'm skipping. What is the stance of the Catholic Church and suicide these days?
