[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1952540, member: 401801"] [USER=461597]@PenguinMum[/USER] I'm so sorry for your loss. Once you're in the vicious cycle of destructive thoughts, it's hard to get back out. And nothing much anyone else says will convince you that the people you love, won't be better off without you. I know that's how I felt when I took pills. I figured I was a burden, and was in the same mindset as Dougie must have been when he took an overdose. I loved him more than he ever thought he could deserve; he was my world. I'm married, have a cat and all, life eventually went on... It's been over 20 years and there's still a gaping hole in the world where this amazing human being should have been. I still love him. But there's only so much you can do, and when someone's made up their mind... Just remember your friend with love and compassion, as you have been doing. It's all we can do to honour their memory. And maybe try to help others who feel the same way. Patrick, do what you can to hang in there. It can get better. It will. And you don't have to do any of this alone. [/QUOTE]
