Venting Encouraging words to help us come to terms with death.

[Kirbster]

Suicide for me has and always will be my life's goal, but its hard for me and many others to come to terms with death due to fear, stigma, etc. I'd really appreciate if any viewer might leave a comment that helps null these feelings. Whether it be a quote, your own views, or something else-- please add your insight to help many of us overcome that fear and hesitation despite our willingness to commit.

Eternal peace, relief of suffering. :)

The joy of accepting death has made everything else feel so dull

 

[Brick In The Wall]

This thread is a good resource and had some impact on how I view death. Ultimately though it may not be your time if you're questioning it. There is no surefire way to nullify the feelings you've mentioned.

You're still pretty young and life is just beginning for you. Alot can and will change in a short period of time. Good luck with whichever path you decide to take in life.

Everybody dies one day, literally everybody. We all are going to die sooner or later one way or another. It's going to happen because of an old age or because of our own choice but it's going to happen and we will have to face what comes after death no matter what. And think about this, literally BILLIONS of people have already died through the whole history of humanity, and many many of them died of suicide. They have seen already what comes after death, we will too and we won't be alone in it and we won't be the only ones who saw what comes next.
Another thing I like to think about, think about someone you admired in entertainment or general history that has died already, if you have someone like that, they have faced the death, so can you and you will face it just like someone you admire did too.
Another thing I also like to think about is that this world is very big, literally as I type this there is someone somewhere in this world dying at this very second and at the same second as you are reading this. And the chances are that there is someone killing themselves at this very moment as well. You might be miles apart but when you decide to do this, chances are you won't be the only one in the world doing it at this exact same moment. And you'll face what comes next together.
I hope this helps.

Even if you don't ctb in the end, there is no guarantee that you'll have a long life. There are many things in this world that could end your life in a flash. I think the fear is worse for people who aren't suicidal because they want to live their life much as possible. I see death as a very positive thing however because it's likely the exact same experience before you even born. It's like you never existed.

Death is an expirence our ancestors and many others went through so in the end we aren't alone. Every person you've met or seen will die one day sooner or later. They have to come to terms with that as well.

How glad I will be the day I ctb knowing that next day I won't be in this shit

Liquid Courage or a Couple Benzos usually does the trick to relinquish all worry. ; )

 

[Quarky00]

Fear is part of life , terrifying and brutal . Fear is also part of death , terrifying as well – hopefully less brutal on an already broken soul .

Making peace with death is making peace with myself .

Life should be celebrated . If every path was visited and every hill climbed , but still hope was crushed – death should be celebrated . Not with fireworks ; observed and acknowledged , peacefully and respectfully . I don't think we should "overcome hesitation" . One should not push themselves . I really think it is something to reflect upon calmly .

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

Make sure you are genuinly ready. It seems like nothing then. I think a lot of people say survival instinct when they mean they do not want to die and are hesistating. Review your situation from every aspect and possible solution. If there really is no hope make peace with death, grieve yourself in the stages of grief and move on to acceptance.

my first encounter with SI on a trial with my eventual method, the first thing that came to mind was "what if I keep living and endure all that I currently think I can't endure".

you can probably use something akin to cognitive behavioural therapy or self talk to wash that away. Practicing probably helps. As you say, you must be totally ready. Then, Just COMMIT and be done with it.

Suicide doesn't kill people. Sadness kills them.

Suicide doesn't kill people. Sadness kills them.

Life kills them

Life kills them

People kill people.

 

[WhyIsLife56]

People kill people.

Life kills people. Once you're alive, you'll die at some point. Whether it be by suicide or old age or some disease. Every life form is destined to die at some point. That's how life works. :)

People kill people.

This does ring some truth. If you give birth to someone, they'll die. Giving birth to someone also leads to death.

Suicidal people are just angels who want to go home.

Death/non-existence is home

 

[LittleJem]

Most people in history died by age 40, before better living conditions.

Exactly. I wish I lived in an age when I'd be dead by now.

"Suicides are the aristocrats of death-
they summon death, death doesn't summon them."
