Call to tell him you are thinking about him and offer support to open the door.
People that die by suicide often keep what they are thinking private and that's the scary part. How can you help if you don't see it coming. That's why physical clues are so important to notice.
Best wishes with this. Just wade into the convo. slowly, you will know when it's the right time.  |
. Thank you for your kind message. I will call him, I think. I just need to find the courage. Both to face him and the fact that I wasn’t there for her and also to be strong enough to be a friend to him. I’m afraid that I’m not strong enough to do either one, but you are right.
I just need to wade in and the tide will take me where it will. I couldn’t control what she did and I won’t be able to control what happens next. But if I don’t at least try to reach out to him, I won’t have done anything and that will eat at me forever, I think.
Ugh... I’m just gonna cry the whole time. This sucks so much.
