Discussion cbt letter

[ecmnesia]

on the next few weeks the bus will be coming for me. it's already set up. I wondered if I should leave something for my friends and family, but i can't find a thing I'd like to say to them. the words won't come.

how important is it to leave letters? what am I supposed to talk about?

The mystery or the knowing, which will do less damage ?

In my letters I explained my reasons for CTB, what I wanted them to do with my stuff and left all my virtual info and passwords so that they can do whatever they want with my bank account, paypal account, gmail, etc.

its ok if you don't feel like answering... but, did you make a letter for each person you are close to?

In my lived experience, the mystery and not being acknowledged were indescribably hard, and over thirty years later, it still comes up from time to time.


@ecmnesia, here's a response I recently made to someone about their goodbye letter. It's a good thread and might help you get started.

Yes, I did!
I wrote a letter for my parents, my brother, my only two friends and my dog Tomi! I tried to be brief so as not to get them bored whenever they read them lol

Whatever you write the people you do it for will still have questions they need answering...I have done letters on past attempts and these have been held against me...this time no letters, will be my final send off and no one gets answers, cruel maybe, my wish definitely...
