"You live for the sake of everyone else, you don't own your life."
Bingo.... the flip side of that statement is that it insinuates that you have to be the one to continue to suffer.
Exactly, my mother committed suicide last year and I am too glad she's no longer in pain, would do anything to see her again but still have personal feelings of suicide, were you two in a long lasting relationship?It's both a true and false statement, it does end the pain for the person who dies by suicide and it also leaves anyone who was loved by that person reeling from their loss.
I disagree with it being bandied about to guilt trip people out of killing themselves but it doesn't make it any less true that if you are cared for, your death will be devastating to your loved ones.
I'm here because my fiancé took his own life last year, before feeling suicidal myself I was so bewildered by his suicide but since experiencing that pain for myself, as devastated as I am without him, I'm glad he's no longer in pain. I have friends and family who care deeply about me and knowing that, seeing the ravished a suicide causes, I still tried to take my own life in May (and still think about it constantly even though I reluctantly think my survival instinct is too strong to overcome).
I simply believe that no one's grief is more important than another person's pain.
