[Living sucks]

Could you be on the other end of a voice chat or pm with someone who is ctb'ng to provide compassionate support?

If it wouldn't legally implicate me in the suicide, I wouldn't mind.

 

[Weightoftheworld]

Yes, I've been beside quite a few people as they died, although not by CTB. I feel it's nice for someone to know they're not alone at the end.

I could. I wish that even if I was unable to stop the people I could from committing suicide I could at least share their last few moments with them. That would be quite an experience I would never forget and I suppose I would be grateful

 

[Final Escape]

It would be really nice to have that as I'm going through with ending it, but also to do that for other people.

A good man talked me out of suicide on discord once.
I'd say with the technology we have today it's doable. Hell, with this Zoom thing you could hold an entire online funeral!
Not entirely sure how to deal with the coffin. Perhaps we could use something like the Mars rovers?

 

[The Dark Chaos]

To make the other person feel that theyy're not alone would be a lovelyy thingg to do. I'll be definitely upp for it.

 

[mathieu]

Sure.

 

[MsMaudlin]

Yes, I did with Dear Flabby on here. It absolutely broke my heart. We had become so close on here (there is a tribute thread to her on here) and on WhatsApp ❤

No...not for me. Spent my whole life trying to keep the living alive, and in good health. I could never do it.

Yes I had that experience with two members I became close to they ctb a day after each other and they never took the SN until 3am so after DM's I couldn't sleep and I had to do the same the next day at around 2.30am, i was wiped out after that and I wasn't interested in posting or reading it took a few weeks to get over it and I swore I wouldn't do it again, but if it's a friend, I will be there to give support.

 

[BridgeJumper]

No
I cant possibly describe how much unable I am to do it. Im way too empathethic and feel things way too acutely.
Just hearing about my best friends ctb landed me in psych ward for 3,5 months.

 

[disconnection]

I think I've done it as a Samaritans volunteer. Caller stopped responding. Can never be sure though. Was the middle of the night and I cried loads after that. Can't believe I'm now at this point again too...

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

No I won't be able to do this, it's too much to bear. And I will feel guilty.

 

[Amnesty]

No I can not. I would believe I could had stopped them even though it was their choice to do it. It would add to the list of wrongs to hate myself for too.
