Another soul lost to BP. I have fought so hard against life and for it...what do I do? I understand why he chose this path, but his family doesn't.

That is tragic.

There is no right way to react. Take care of yourself and take all the time you need.

Knowing that he doesn't hurt anymore is helping make sense of this. I understand why, but it's from my point of view. No one could make it stop hurting him. His family is shocked and confused. I'm talking with his sister, who is also a friend. She's having such a hard time

Most people that have survived both cancer and mental illness would prefer to have cancer again.
