Today I found out a friend committed suicide
He lives in another town. It happened at the end of Sept. We kept in touch with email, sporadically. Sometimes months would go by without any contact. It's taken a while for the word to spread. Another friend emailed me today. He had just found out over the weekend. It really knocked the legs out from under me this morning
He had his demons, for sure. This isn't the first time he attempted suicide. In fact, the third. And he wasn't a young kid, he was 55. I know what caused the other two, the last time was his divorce. This time, who knows?
Asphyxiation by helium. At least it was painless. I hope he is too now.
What an empty feeling this leaves you with.
RIP
