Would the aftermath even matter?

[RedDoor]

I thought about the aftermath of ctb alot, the thing that mostly prevented me was fearing what would happen afterwards. Like what if another form of constant suffering is waiting next door ( in some theories eternal suffering), that would certainly not make things any better.

As for what would happen to the people that i leave traumatised, i always came to the conclusion that however harsh it might be for them, it won't mean anything for me after death.

For The pain of ctb wasn't the problem the problem, it was always the horror of the way. Methods like Jumping and car accidents where very scary to consider to even consider. The way i always imagined to ctb was by deep cutting ; however, I've heard that it has a very low chance to work (2%)

I just wanted to share my thoughts with you and see what you guys think.

the aftermath, once CTB is complete is of no concern of ours, reactions of people left behind, we will know nothing of this
Death is like before creation, nothing, just nothing, fading to black then nothing.
CTB isn't an easy thing to do, but many succeed,
Though many failures of some may be down to hollywood glamorizing thing's like wrist cutting/ODing etc,
Suicide is ugly, but once done, nothing else matters

While it may not matter to me once the deed is done the idea of traumatizing certain people who may find me is of great concern, at least while I'm still breathing. My plans are that there would be some kind of warning/prevention in place to not have them see the final me. I'm not 100% that there's nothing after we stop breathing so if there is anything later it would be crap to see the after effects if I just did a "bah, who cares" exit.

I hope I live again but not in this world. I also want a memory wipe

I look at it this way...

Whatever's on the other side is inevitable. So, that quells my fear of doing it from an afterlife standpoint. I have my own ideas of what may happen and how I want things to go. I can't worry myself with it, though. At the end of the day, one way or another, I'm going to die. What happens afterwards is going to happen regardless of if I do it or a car accident does it or some dude in a clocktower does it.

I personally just believe that we completely cease existing after we exit this world and to me this is something that is incredibly ideal as death solves everything and prevents all future suffering, nobody can be harmed by not existing. Death is inevitable and we are destined for nowhere other than that, so of course there could never be any point to fearing it, instead this harmful world that is filled with risks and potential for endless torment is what I fear. It's true that nothing could ever matter to us after we exit this world, and anyway all humans have to die and lose everything someday, eventually we likely won't even exist in the memories of those who continue to stay here.

I think it depends on your personal believes regarding what happens after death. So the significance of ones' CTB-aftermath is at a persons own discretion.
Do I want to get burred or cremated? How should my property be handled after I am gone. Or do I just not give a crap? Stuff like that.
It gets complicated with the fact that my friends and family will hurt once I'm dead. Maybe I don't want to hurt them. Then I might try to distance myself before I CTB.. Push away friends and family in an attempt to spare them. Or again, do I just not give a crap?
But what should not be forgot, is that the aftermath is the conclusion to death, and contains anything that happend before that, the act itself, and what comes after.
Have I left a note with some kind of explaination., or haven't I. The process of suffering is inevatable, but chances are high that it causes more distress not knowing at least something. Maybe I want to prevent that. Overcoming the fact that my death will cause this pain, or for the last time, do I just not give a crap?

I really think it depends on what you believe what happen afterward. If the Universe is infinite, then 'you' could be a collection of atoms that have arranged themselves in the form of a human brain somewhere in space that thinks it is experiencing a human life. Your thoughts and expectations surrounding the afterlife may influence what actually happens. I don't know, we will all find out eventually.

I have thought about it too. The main thing for me is the impact on my daughter She has been suicidal in the past and I'm afraid that if I kill myself it will push her over the edge. I cannot risk that. My wife, son, and younger daughter would recover, but my older daughter might not.

What I'm saying is that before you do anything, think about how it would affect the most at-risk person in your life. Don't push anyone else over the edge with your act.

On the other hand, if my daughter were ever to predecease me, all bets are off.
