Has anyone ever browsed through profiles of those who have passed? Have you ever read the last words they wrote on them? Even more eerily, the profiles of those who have committed suicide? The other day, I talked briefly to the family of a 16 year old that had committed suicide two years ago. It just happened to be the day after the anniversary of his death. I remember the incident when it happened, because my nephew had known him and I remember seeing that person about a month before it happened. His Myspace page is still active and people continue to leave comments on it about how they miss him. I always find it eerie to look at the last log in date, knowing it was only a day or moments before that person was last alive in this physical world. I find it even more eerie to read those last words that they wanted everyone to see. What is so sad is it looks as though he was trying to reach out for help, but no one was available or didn't take him seriously. It made me reevaluate my own actions and how often I overlook so many things in life. With all of the stresses, worries, and the fast-paced lifestyle that is placed on us in order to get ahead, we often overlook what I believe is the most important thing in life and that is life itself. Rather than embracing each other, so many of us are losing those important bonds that make life worth living.

lady, your thread was so neautifully worded. i lost my best friend that way. she could've called me but must have been in such hopeless despair she didn't. it still makes me sad 20 years later.
that's why i find pc such a wonderful site. we all try to help one another. we reach out to those suffering and recognize and encourage each other. i've been to sites far less supportive.
i'm glad u're here.i'm glad i'm here.

One of my friends who Ive known since highschool died exactly two weeks ago, not from suicide but very suddenly, and I know exactly what yet are talking about because the same thoughts were going through my head. The very last status she had written, oblivious to the fact that would be the very last thing she would ever write. And now its like there is this 'silence', there will never be another status from her. There wont be any more conversations about our trips over seas. I was going to put a status that I needed a hug and then I remembered she was always one of the only people who offered. So I couldnt write it.

I always reach out to those on facebook who seem to be looking for help, I'm glad I choose to!

This thread makes me think of dear Paddy from this site. He is still one of my friends and I still leave a message on his profile from time to time. I am happy his status remains active here.

That's what I was thinking too...
