MissErin, I''m so sorry to hear about your neighbor and dear friend. It is so terribly sad. I wish I could say or do something to make it make sense. *hugs*

Prayers for your dear neighbor that he did not suffer and that he is in a better place without the cancer and pain that lead to his decision, and prayers for his family and the friends that he has left behind.

Thank you so very much. I am feeling better that so many people on here care so much and are understanding. It''s re defining why I come.

MissErin - I am so sorry for what you are going through. I''ve been there and as others have said, suicide is a whole different type of grieving. So many unaswered questions, so many feelings of guilt, so much of asking "why"?
My thoughts are with you and your neighbors family.
Sending lots of hugs and love your way...

Thank you. I really can''t tell you how much it means that so many care. It was a sad day but I am getting better, thanks to people like you.

That is very sad. I''m sorry to hear this. Suicide is such a shocker and can make the loss of a loved one even more confusing and full of mixed emotions.

Yeah this was not a great day... But it''s better for him in the end. He isn''t in pain from the cancer anymore and I will always have the wonderful memories to remember. Everything happens for a reason.

I am late to this thread, not because I didn't see it, but because I didn't know what to say...

I thought I would be able to think of something meaningful, but I couldn't....it is just so sad, so all I can think of to say still is....SORRY!

My neighbor committed suicide on the 1st. He was my age. I didn't know him, but saw him often....breaks my heart.

Things ike this sometimes don''t really need words. All I knew when I was writing it was that I just wanted to write it. I wasn''t wanting a million responses (even though that was a very special surprise in the end) I just wanted to write it out. I had a hard time speaking what was in my heart, so writing was natural. Don''t feel bad for not knowing what to say. It''s a difficult subject with very little answers. Thank you for what you did write though.

It was heartfelt and true. Thats what matters.
