We got a call Sat from my neighbor that our other neighbors wife told him two weeks ago that she was seeing someone and wanted a divorce. The guy took a whole bottle of blood pressure pills and went into a coma this past sat. He died yesterday. I was at a barbeque at this guys house two weeks ago. My kids are friends with his. Man its so fucked up how it can all come crashing down on ya. What I dont understand is that the guy tried it last weekend too but was unsuccessful. How do you leave this guy alone at this point. Such a shame. His little girl Maya was always smiling and I cant get her face out of my head. Fucking shame.
Hi Bon,
Sorry to hear about all that and yes, it can all change in a heart beat.
I just got a call a minute ago from one of my customers, that the office manager's husband got killed over the weekend.
She was following him in her car when 2 guys hit him head on.
They ran out of the car but the cops caught them later on.
From what I hear, she's not doing too good.
Man, it's times like these that you really don't know what you can do for people or even what to say sometimes.
I guess all we can do is be there for them.
We all affect other people in ways we may not even realize.
I guess that's about the main thing we can take from these things.

wow that sux. i guess maybe they only kept him in for a few days after the first attempt? that sux he has a child thats a very selfish move on his part. no bitch is worth dying over.
Rich, sorry to hear this!
Yeah it sucks. I'm going to the wake tonight. I wonder if the catholic church we let them have a funeral. I dont think they allow that for suicide.

I don't know why anyone would kill himself over a cunt. I been heartbroken in my life by a wife, but there were so many other women and so little time..............
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I've never understood suicide. I've been severely depressed (to the point of harboring suicidal thoughts) because of some medication I was taking, but even in my worst moments I still wanted to be alive.
I remember when I heard Cobain killed himself thinking - what an unbelievably selfish piece of shit - to leave his daughter in this world alone with Courtney Love as a mom.
People who kill themselves over the actions of other people get little sympathy from me. People who kill themselves because they have done something horrible, even if by accident, get more.
But it's never an answer or a solution - it's just pathetic in every conceivable way.
I don't mean to pile on - I'm terribly sorry that man decided to take his own life - but I just think it's seriously fucked up (like your thread title) that anyone would even make that choice.

Amen brother. We all have had periods where we were depressed, but it's so STUPID! I have often wondered, how many people who did it, given a second chance, would do it again. Whether or not you believe in the afterlife is a subpoint in this, and not being brought in here. Just HERE on earth... WHY?
I'll stop before I get really offensive... :(
Guys, I agree. Its the ultimate cop-out. Leaving three great kids to wonder why for their whole lives. I have no mercy for him either. Its the kids that concern me. I did like the guy though and feel sorry that he was in such a dark place.
yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. I feel bad for someone who get's to that place, but sometimes you just have to man up and go on. Really feel bad for his family.
I took out Trauma/Life Insurance 12 months ago for obvious reasons; but a surprising clause in it is that it covers suicide after 13 (not 12.....) months.
After what I've been through with the 3 companies going down and all owing me a little to heaps of money; I've wondered if I should just say enough is enough.
I'm not suicidal; life is actually pretty good. Getting married; love playing the guitar and learning more all the time; have 4 of my dream guitars; a new house on the Gold Coast 400m from the beach, I have a great job - the owner only today pointed out in front of the whole division that if he had 10 of me in my role he wouldn't need anyone else ....
So life is great.
But how the fuck can we afford to go to one income to have a kid. We can't. So what's the point in going on without all of this to share with your children. I'm starting to lose sleep at night. I'm 37; no kids; and a 668 pw mortgage.
So is it selfish to end it now and make sure Claire gets the 500k??? Or more selfish when we DO have kids and are REALLY fucked financially?????
This is a retorical question BTW. I'm not considering suicide. That's my brothers job.
YEah, you've got to read the fine print in any insurance policy.
Can't blame them though.
Suicidal people would get in a funk, buy a big policy for wife or kids, then end it all.
The insurance company would wind up paying out huge claims all day.
You couldn't stay in business like that.
So, if you have 13 months to think about it, odds are...you've sought help and gotten over it.

Is there a sign up list to provide Claire with "emotional support" after the tragic event? ;)
500k should buy her all the emotonal support she needs. I just hope his schlong is smaller than mine...... :D :D :D
Oh, I'm sure it's not and the money really isn't necessary. ;D
