Help Lessening the impact on people

[Sleepwalkuntilsane]

Bought a gun recently, and getting stuff in order before I CTB. I'm really worried about my family and friends, everyone in my family is really bad at dealing with death and I want to make this as easy for them as possible. Some of my friends are in a bad place mentally and I want to limit the effect my death will have on them. I've already written a note and have been keeping a journal to document my thoughts so it's as easy as possible to see what led up to this choice. I have something set up that will notify them after my death, and I've written an informal will for what to do with my stuff. I'm planning on going to somewhere remote so they won't find my body. Is there anything else I could do to make this as painless for them as possible?

Truthfully not a whole lot you can do. If someone loves and cares for you they will be affected no matter what and no matter how you act leading up to it.. maybe just make some final memories with those you care about beforehand. Some people try to distance themselves from others and I have been doing such but I don't think this changes much, if someone cares they'll always care.

I would maybe consider whether it is better for your body to be found and your family to know for sure you are dead and have the closure of burial. I think in order for a funeral to happen there needs to be a death certificate or something, your family probably would be unsure how to proceed with the situation, there would have to be a police investigation to rule out homicide, and that could drag on for a long time and end inconclusively without good evidence, meaning your family may never be able to give you a proper funeral or fully come to terms with your death.

In my view it would cause the least trauma to family if a body was found as quickly as possible, found by police not a family member, identification of the body is easy, investigation is concluded suicide as quickly as possible. That way you are processed through the system and ready to be buried in a short time, meaning family get closure quickly and don't have to be burdened by legal stuff, investigations, and doubts, as well as dealing with a loved ones death. It's kind of a pain in the ass i would rather just disappear but unfortunately there is a bunch of legal stuff and social convention stuff involved in death and suicide

Please always keep in mind that after a few months the sadness will dissipate and you become just another point in the statistic and the story of "that one person that killed himself" that will be told every few years. <3
So please do not think too much about it
The most important part is that if you decide to go through with it that you feel ready for it
