Today, just after 12pm EST, my father took his own life in the room just next to mine. All while I was sleeping through the day from a long night of reading. I've never experienced something so horrific, or felt something so cold as his face as I cut and lay him down on the ground before the paramedics could arrive. I know this really isn't the place to express this, but I'm completely out of it. I was really looking forward to tomorrow, and the 30th anniversary event, but this has totally overshadowed that.
Please, if you see someone feeling down, at all, reach out. Make them know you're there for them. And if you're feeling depressed, or alone, don't hesitate to speak your mind and let your friends and family know. We care. Anyway, that's all I got guys.
To those that offered condolences, thank you. I needed that.

Edited by Seraph: 12/7/2021 4:13:12 PMMy deepest condolences. I cannot begin to imagine how horrific this experience has been for you. If you ever need anyone to talk to, then we are here for you. I lost my father last November ( kidney failure ), and I'm still trying process the whole entire thing, because it happened so fast. Grief hits us all in different ways. And the circumstances of your father's death mean that you are probably dealing with a lot right now. Also, if you need it, don't hesitate to speak to an official grief counselor. I'm sure the professionals are better equipped to console you in this very, very difficult time.
