I've been on the phone with my friend E all day and during our binge marathon he got silent and texted me "are you there".. i then noticed he was sniffling, and he told me his uncle had shot him self and that he just found out. Hearing about suicide always gives me this funny feeling since I myself am suicidal..
E then tells me that his uncle had a 20 year old son, and that he thinks his aunt (the uncles ex wife) was the cause of his death. The uncle was found in his truck today with a gunshot wound in the head, his son hasn't even found out yet; they've been trying to call the son but he hasn't picked up so they'll break the news tomorrow. I just feel so bad for my friend and the family, especially the son, he's basically my age and i'd be torn man… i also feel for my friend bc he's also had suicidal tendencies in the past and still jokes about it today so i don't know if that means he's still suicidal or not but idk how he's processing this whole ordeal. I just feel so bad man, it seemed like they were close. things like this really makes me double take suicide… then again, i don't really blame the uncle.

Death is hard on family and friends.
Living can be hard for individuals.
It is a delicate balance.
I am sorry for your friend.
This might be where a good explanation in a letter will help.

At least he cannot suffer anymore. Rest in peace.

Yeah well even in the most extreme cases where suicide is the only answer, it is still a terrible thing for the person having to initiate it and for all those who remain living amidst the aftermath. Loss and grieving are no fun and neither is living for others whilst suffering tremendously and consistently. It's really just a terrible situation for all involved and is a situation to be avoided. That being said, I am painfully aware that it can not always be avoided.

I'm sorry for what your friend and their family are going through currently as well as whatever it was that their uncle went through. Rest in peace
