What should I say in my letter?

[meghead]

Part of me wants to write a genuine explanation and apology about the entire thing, but another part of me wants to write "You all made life WAY to hard to live LMAOOO"

What would be best to write? What should I include?

 

[FuneralCry]

I think it is up to you, as writing a letter is a personal thing and only you know what is best. For me personally, I would write an explanation which will mean that those left behind will have closure and they will not be left with unanswered questions. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

I just plan on saying pretty much "I'm sorry & I need you to know it's not your fault"

even though it's still gonna be devastating and they will blame themselves.

When I tried, I just quickly wrote on my phone "I'm sorry it had to be this way" and then added a few blurbs regarding an addendum to my will. The only reason why I even left that much of a note, was to minimize how long it would take for me to be cremated. I read somewhere if you're found without a note, even with everything showing it was a suicide, police will consider it a homicide, and I didn't want people being questioned or my body being held unnecessarily.

Wrote out all my letters a few days ago. The first thing I emphasised was that "It wasn't your fault. Nothing you could have done, or didn't do, would have stopped me from doing this"

Never forget those you leave behind. They should be the first in your thoughts.

Agreed honestly. The unprofessional note I thought of comes only from anger. No matter how difficult it's been with the people I've known, the last thing I want to do to them is have them believe that they were the reason I killed myself.

You know, the purpose of the letter is to leave behind whatever message you want to convey to whom it is addressed to. As it is, it will be your last conversation to them and their last impression of you therefore I think should be as genuine as possible. With that said, I believe that whatever message is included in the letter and what emotions you want to convey in the letter is entirely up to you.

If there is a person in your life you really love and and ment alot to you (family member(s), relatives, close friends, etc...) maybe tell them how much they ment to you. Just a suggestion.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I would not be nice, I would call out those fuckers that have made me feel this way, my entire family, each false faced friend, every single cop, judge, doctor and nosy busy body, every single attacker, and this includes the bullying cops because they are attackers, I would let them know just why I am where I am and what I think they should do to themselves and the very fact that I hope I can haunt their shameless asses for bullying and creating such an unsafe, inhospitable environment of unacceptablity in this world. Oh I cannot wait to haunt some mother fuckers, I will not be nice.

Yea, when I think about what I'd write at this exact moment there's a lot of anger and pain I want to express. I'd really like to blame the ex who broke my heart after promising to be there for me during my depression. I get sick pleasure from the thought of my final act further staining his reputation. I do blame him for my current mental state and because I feel so betrayed it makes me angry.

Others have made good points though about offering final words to loved ones (who actually loved you). I'm just not there yet myself.

Perhaps part of why I haven't CTB yet…I can feel that my life-ending actions would stem from wanting to hurt the person who hurt me and not because I'm ready to end it yet. Getting closer every day though…

Here's what mine will have:

0. Declare full sanity / control of mental faculties
1. Absolve others of responsibility and take full responsibility for my decision
2. Ask whoever finds me not to contact anyone I know (which is just my parents)
3. Ask for a simple burial (preferably with a plain wooden coffin or without one so my body can fully bio-degrade).
4. Tell whoever finds me how to get the $$ I'm leaving them for (3) and the trouble my ctb will give them
