Dealing with death in the family.
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.

Take your own advice and reach out for help. Just reading what you had to bear witness to gave me chest pain. But people who take their own lives are lost in such a dark place that they just can’t imagine the pain that their loss will cause those who love them. So while your concern for others is admirable. You need to circle the wagons and take care of yourself, and your family one another right now. Again. This was not your fault. I had a friend and roommate who tried to take his life. Fortunately he was unsuccessful and didn’t do himself lasting harm. But it was still like getting hit in the head with a rock. I spent weeks ruminating about what I could have done differently to have prevented it from happening. Don’t go there. You’re in enough pain already. Don’t take on any more unnecessarily. I’m sorry you are going through this. Truly sorry.
