    One of my best friends in the whole world shot himself this morning

    His wife called me about 10 minutes ago. Right now I'm just numb.

    I know it's only been a day since I got the news, but I'm having a really hard time dealing with this. I just don't understand. He left behind a wonderful, amazing beautiful and loving wife who is utterly devastated, and two beautiful brilliant daughters from a previous marriage - one in high school, one in college.

    I called his wife back last night and we spent some time on the phone bawling together. I got absolutely shit-faced drunk - didn't help. Well, at least I got to sleep ok.

    Ah, HIA I'm so sorry.

    What a damned selfish thing for him to do tho. I hope you let his wife know this is absolutely not her or the family's fault. There's a lot of survivors guilt after a suicide and in the end, its the family that is left holding the emotional bag.

    His poor family! I am so sorry for all of you, and wish I had something helpful to say..
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    I've been sitting here feeling sorry for myself...

    And it's occurred to me over and over again that whatever I'm feeling, his poor wife and children are feeling it much worse. Those poor ladies.

    Just got another phone call from his wife - there won't be a service. He didn't want one.

    I wish the son of a bitch had picked up the phone and called me.

    Oh HIA, big cyber hugs to you. What a terrible thing for you, and everyone else affected by this, to be going through.

    I'm... going to be alright.

    Found out yesterday that there will be no service as he didn't want one, so now I won't even be able to say good-bye.

    We're planning a trip down to visit his wife a the end of September, though. They're 7+ hours south of us now.

    Hey HIA I'm so sorry for your loss. It's very tragic and so sad : ( What his family must be going through, I can't begin to imagine.

    You can still say goodbye. For those who believe in such, they say someone's 'soul' doesn't reside in the body. It will be near his friends and loved ones. Perhaps when you visit you can find a place where he loved to be, make a toast to him and a meaningful commitment to something in your life in honour of his memory.
