People oftentimes try to hide how bad they feel inside because they feel like they cannot talk about it with others. That others wouldn't understand how they feel inside. To talk of suicide in our culture is sort of taboo and people look upon you as though you were crazy if you say anything. Or, they freak out when a person mentions they have suicidal feelings.
I'm sorry for your friend's loss though.

“In depression . . . faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the...feeling felt as truth...that no remedy will come -- not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . . It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
