Anyone care to proof read my "letter"

[BigGimpin]

This is what I plan on posting, any thoughts of changes or more I should say, please dont be shy to share your opinion:

Farewell my friends. I am sorry it has come to this, but I can no longer carry on in this amount of pain. This has not been a spur of the moment decision, I am of sound mind and thinking clearly. Over time my physical well being has declined at a rapid pace and each day gets worse and worse. I can no longer function like this, I have seen many doctors and pain clinics and there is no solution that brings my pain down to a level that is acceptable. I have been dealing with this for over 10 years, and in recent times, the last 2-3 years, the pain has become unbearable. I never thought it would come to this, but it is the cards I have been dealt. I look forward to moving on and end this suffering.

I have known a lot of you for many many years and your love and support over these years has been amazing, I am truly grateful to each and every one of you. I know some will not support my decision, all I ask is please accept that I am doing what is right for me. I have the loving support from my family and they have been at my side throughout this entire journey. I know it is going to be painfully hard for them to endure losing their youngest son, but watching me day to day in pain also affects them. They only want what is right for me, and all I ask is the same from you.

There are no magic words that will change my mind, I have done tons of research and found what they use in medical assisted suicide and was able to procure it, it was from a trusted source recommended from people who have a ton of experience in this field.

All I ask is you please respect my decision and support me, when you think of me, think good thoughts and how I have touched your lives. I love you all and truly wish my life would have tuned out differently. I have accomplished a lot in my 52 years and there are many things I am truly proud of; I hope I have touched lives and made a positive impact on them.

In closing, I will miss you all dearly and hope to see you on the other side.

*side note: Ironically it is also the same day both Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley passed, along with my cat Ty 3 years ago.

Thanks brother? 23 hours to go.

Well written and can't imagine how to say it any better. May your journey be swift and peaceful

Forgive me, but I would take this part out, @BigGimpin .

I have done tons of research and found what they use in medical assisted suicide and was able to procure it, it was from a trusted source recommended from people who have a ton of experience in this field.

They don't really "need" to know that and might find it more troubling than comforting. It leaves a tiny wedge for them to be angry at "someone."

I wish you all the best. Please know that you will be missed. Godspeed.

Really nice letter. Sorry it's worked out this way for you. Wishing you peace.

It sounds so horrible what you have been through. I hope you find relief from all the pain and I wish you the best in whatever happens.

nonono dude, leave this part out! first, the authorities can ban your letter for describing suicide methods, and second, why does anyone need to know how you died?

Great letter, I think everybody will understand what you have been going through and why you made this decision.

If tonight is not your night that is okay too, I read your other post the other day and I can really sympathize with what you said. I am not comparing one to the other, but there is a different type of anguish that comes with being forced to ctb due to medical conditions. I would kill to be rid of my ailments and get back to my life but like you said, it is the hand we were dealt.

I hope everything goes smooth for you tonight if you do choose to go through with it.

I really liked your letter, thank you for sharing.

A good letter. I agree with a couple of the others that you should leave out the details of how you ctb. I'd also insert an "r" so that it says "turned" and not "tuned":
"I love you all and truly wish my life would have turned out differently."
Best wishes. May you find peace.

THANK YOU! Never even thought about that, I edited it.
