How would you feel if someone comitted suicide?

[medusa]

Hey,
all of us are wanting to ctb so that's why we're on here.
But how would you feel if someone you love killed themselves?
I honestly would be sad, but accepting of their death as I am suicidal myself.

 

[bigj75]

I would be accepting of it. I'm not them so idk how bad it is on them. whatever it takes to relieve their pain if nothing else works.

 

[skitliv]

Sad, but relieved for them. Envious myself.

 

[solacely]

One of my close friends did two years ago. She did it a week before I got out of residential. I was extremely upset but accepting because I knew she struggled a lot. Also jealous that she was able to go through with it.

Suicide is common in my family , it always hurts

 

[Deleted_9cKnXB34QG]

Congratulations, that's all I'd say and I'd envy their courage.

 

[Querry1]

It's individual decision, I'd be hypocrite to be mad at them, but if this person was close to me I'd feel sad probably.

 

[FadedMemory]

I'd feel sad and grieve a lot, but respect their decision anyways since I've been and still am there.

 

[Manaaja]

Someone I knew did a suicide.

My first reaction was anger. How dared they? What an earth were they thinking? But quickly anger turned to sadness, and finally to happiness for them. And in the end it made me go from pro-life to pro-suicide. If they don't suffer anymore, that's all that should matter. Though I do wonder if I will ever truly understand that they are permanently gone, and not just "temporally dead", as stupid as that may sound. Suicide is so different from other methods of dying, so "unreal".

Rational thoughts about respecting their choiced doesnt seem to can control this emotions. They are just too strong.

 

[nzdarkshark]

I'd be emotional - but glad they weren't in pain anymore.

 

[Phro]

I would feel sad while knowing that they found the peace they were seeking.

 

[Clover]

Sad but understanding.
I've had a few people I care about do this and I have always accepted their choices but of course felt terrible about how hard things were for them and missed them a lot.

In 2006 a close friend committed suicide. I was devastated and fell to the ground when I was told the news. I was very sad about it. Now that I'm suicidal I understand his decision. I have, however, always been glad that he's not suffering anymore.

I also knew two brothers from high-school who both killed themselves after school. One was in my class and the other was two years younger and in my sister's class. I actually didn't know the one in my class very well but years after school I talked online to the brother that was in my sister's class. The brothers killed themselves about five years apart - the older brother went first.

It would be an emotional time, it's hard to pinpoint which exact emotions would come into play as I feel they'd all mesh together. Sadness and understanding would play a role. Gratitude is something I'll always have for others, it astonishes me that people are willing to spend time with me so I'll always treasure the memories and be thankful of them. It's pretty much the only thing that keeps me sane - if I met someone as decent as them, I'll eventually meet others along the way.

 

[GeorgeEastman]

Depends on who it was. Family members? I'd understand. We're all screwed in the head.

But some real talented ball player on my favorite team? I'd be devastated. Probably gonna lose now. Hell, might as well kill myself to avoid watching the game now.

 

[Trashcan]

Devastated but I would understand that was their decision and right.

 

[Deadinside24]

It definitely hits close to home but I am STRONGLY pro-choice. It is their life. It's one thing to know someone is depressed or is struggling but a whole other thing to walk in their shoes and experience it yourself. My family knows I've been depressed for years but just because you can know the meaning of depression, you have absolutely no idea the immense toll it can take on a person after suffering for years. I am supportive of anyone who chooses peace over continued suffering.

My best friend (junior high onward) killed herself three years ago this october. She OD'd on a Costco-sized bottle of Benadryl (didn't even know that was lethal). I cried a lot for the first month or so, and I still feel sad on the anniversary and try to be around her mom especially when that date comes around. But I've come to terms with it (even if it means that there's 1 less person in the world that understands what I'm going through, selfish as that may be). I understand more or less why she did it (we have/had a lot of the same problems).

Hmmmmm

 

[itsallover]

It hurts but it's very common. You'll just be another statistic in the end. Nobody else knows your degree of suffering but you. I've realized full well that I'm screwed and will have to off myself eventually. I'm getting to the point where I'm almost out of options medically. I'm not going to stick around just because my faith says it's wrong. At the end of the day I don't respect a God who allows so much suffering to go on. I think suicide is the way to go in most instances of chronic problems both mental and physical.

 

[Justanotherconsumer]

Honestly it wasn't tremendously sad for me, it was very hard on my mom, us kids were raised and on there own. The house was sold before he did this so she had to deal with moving and the funeral. It's hardest for the one left to pick up the pieces. The funeral made it 100 times worse than it was.

 

[Zekirah]

I wouldn't even be sad, just a bit jealous they were successful

 

[heaterxo]

I have, and I was (and still am) pissed that he didn't take me with him at the train tracks..Could've died together at least. But that was in 2001, still haunts me.

 

[windingdown]

I would feel sad at the tragedy of life - the absence of someone I love. It would just reinforce to me how sad life can be. I would probably also envy them. Unless it was my mom, it wouldn't make a difference to my day to day life.

 

[Final Escape]

It depends if I knew the person but if not then jealous.

I knew at least one person most likely two that committed suicide. The 1st one at the time I wondered if there was anything I could have done … if we had been closer. We didn't know each other real well. I know it would be much harder if it was someone I was really close to.
The second … I'm not totally sure but I think it was and again I wasn't close enough to know.
The first was before I REALLY wanted to die myself. I have wanted to die since I was a teen but now it's to the point where I hate it here enough to hopefully go through with it.

This question always irks me because I get conflicted how I feel whenever someone dies (including people from this site).

But this answer is going to sound so pro life:

Really really sad and guilty, as much as I want to die, I will feel bad and blame myself. I am a hypocrite in some ways and will definitely encourage those around me to not die and continue to live. But it's like my emotions are unstable.

 

[Dead_Inside]

I would be fairly devastated. I want to pretend that it would be ok and I would be happy for them .... but no. I would wonder if I had fucked up and missed something or just didn't try hard enough to help them ...
I guess if it was the end of some long terminal illness I might make my way out of it.
But I am a fool and I guess I love people more than they usually love me. I still can't get over having to put my cat down. He was 19 had two strokes and brain cancer and still .... I feel like I killed him.

I know so hypocritical. I have no regard for my own self. I suck. I don't care if I die. But other people? I just don't want them to feel like this. This world is so fucked .... it kills people.

How quick is that death? Is it painful?
