In all seriousness, I've not lost anyone close to suicide but I've grieved a lot about the people I knew who died from it. They mattered to me when they were alive, even if I could never express it to them. Even if I didn't know them well... I don't know how to explain that. They weren't celebrities. They were a spark, a light even when they couldn't see it, or when they grew tired of fighting and died.
I think of them, I mourn off and on, I wonder if they were afraid, if they felt at peace.
My fiancé has a history of serious suicide attempts and he has lost family to suicide.
Linkin Park's "One More Light".
And yes, I'd grieve if I learned any of you died... When people disappear, I do wonder how they are and hope it's because they're doing better.
Huge hugs... sorry, I relate a lot to loneliness and finding reasons to live and I mourn the cat who loved me even though he's still alive and hope he'll not miss me much. |
Thanks QM.
I also wonder about people who leave suddenly. I've been reading old posts of mine (yay, boredom!) and have been like "Awww, X!" "Awww, Y!"

Basically, I’m in that state of mind quite a bit myself these days and it’s jarring to open a trigger box thinking it will be something insensitive someone said, when really it’s something that’s much too much on my mind these days.
Thanks.

I am SO sorry, ATAT. I don't think I put a warning about the trigger before I posted.
