Not a good week.

Found out on Tuesday that a work friend had died suddenly, found out today that it was suicide. No note, no apparent reason, nothing.
Her family is devastated as all are her friends and it makes it worse when no-one knows why I think - maybe something will be discovered later that can make some sense of it all. :(

It's such a waste and it leaves others wondering what they could or should have done, and so many unanswered questions.
All we can do is pray for peace of mind for those left behind.

thanks guys, jno you've hit the nail on the head, part of me actually feels angry with her as everyone is going about wondering if there is something they could have done or said and are obviously feeling dreadful and to put her poor mother and family through all that pain..... well, then i feel awful for thinking that too as she must obviously have not been right herself to have done it and wasn't necessarily doing it to hurt other people :(
Annie, how awful for you all. It might not ever become apparent why your friend took their own life. Where ever they were recently it must have been agony for them. Even if somebody close had been alerted to their unhappiness, depression is such a debilitating condition, it may not have made any difference . The person you have lost was obviously so distressed ( in their world ) they could not see any way through . We all lead busy lives and nobody could probably foreseen the depth of despair. Stay strong now with your friends. Hugs from me (( HUG )) x
Four years ago an older friend of mine died at the age of 77. I was saddened but not particularly surprised, given his age. Two days later I discovered that he had bee found by a neighbour slumped over the kitchen table with a near-empty bottle of whisky in front of him and a plastic bag over his head. Beside him was a note saying, "Sorry, but I just can't take the pain any more". He was a private person who kept himself very much to himself so no one had a clue as to what had been wrong. I had an inkling as I had last seen him three weeks previously and was struck by how grey, drawn and haggard he looked compared to his usual self yet there was no record of him ever seeking medical help shortly prior to this. Many people are like that; they don't want to be a burden but leave behind a lot of unanswered questions and unnecessary guilt, "... if only we'd known!"
