"Don't be sorry. Be at rest."

A tone of simple dignity and forgiveness. I've read a lot of pessimistic philosophy and rational justifications for suicide, but this short and lucid description of a sensitive soul who, despite being obviously cherished and loved, simply couldn't continue to participate in life has moved me more deeply.

I hope it brought some comfort to my fellow forum members this weekend.

Thank you for this... It's stories like this that break through the clouds and darkness and give me hope.

Very moving! I've always bottled up my emotions living with an NPD mom who would accuse of wanting attention whenever I opened up about being depressed. Even now, the few people I've had contact with in my family fear for my grandma's reaction of my passing and the burden it would impose on her. After a failed attempt last week, I've been guilt-tripped so many times for that very reason. I know they resent me for that alone. But I would never apologize for finding myself on this end of the stick. I've had 24 years of this nonsense. I swear, everyone who has tried to talk me out it has been "BuT wHAt AbOuT mEeeE?"
