My Girl Committed Suicide.... Posted: 05-09-04 07:47am
Hey girls well today I found out my friend
dree committed suicide last night. She
works at the party store at the corner of
my street so me being up there every day
made us close, she would always come by
and stuff... Well I went up there today
and the owner, aha, had oxygen in his nose
and I asked him what was wrong and he told
me that this morning he found dree
upstairs in the apartment above the store,
that she hung herself. My heart dropped,
I mean I know she was going through some
stuff and has said things about ending it
all and I told her that if she ever felt
like ending her life that she needed to
call me or come by and we'd talk it out..
She has 2 kids and I told her to think of
it like this, if u can't live for
yourself, live for your kids, and the next
day after I said that she thanked me and
told me that what I said helped her
alot... But I guess it didn't. It angers
me as much as it hurts, how can people be
so doing it selfish... It just hurts so
much.. And I was thinking today about her
kids, when your in elementary u school you
make mothers day cards for your mom and
now her kids will never be able to share
them with her... I know she was really
depressed but I never knew she would do
this. All this has brought back the pain
of when my uncle did this in december.
Well I am gonna go, may god forgive dree
and accept her into his arms!

I am so very sorry to hear about that. It
is terribly selfish of her, but from what
you posted there was nothing more you or
anyone could do for her. She made this
decision knowing that it would harm her
children emotionally for the rest of their
lives. I hope that you take it easy the
next few days and remember that you did
all you could do.

Im so sorry hun. That is so sad. Ill be
keep her and her kids iin my thoughts.
I had a really close friend of mine commit
suicide a day before valentines day of
this year. It was obvious that he was
depressed, he didn't have nothing good
going for him, except he had parents that
loved him ( his mother is like a second
mother to me), he had lots of friends that
cared about him and he left behind a
fiance'. I have known him for six years,
in fact I once had a crush on him but he
never knew. I got a place of my own
first, so whenever I threw a party, he was
always one of the faces there. We were so
close, both of our families were close.
Over the years, he has told me and other
friends that he sometimes thinks about
commiting suicide. We showed him that we
cared but we never thought he was serious.
So a day before valentines day, he had
just got out of jail and he was
celebrating his release with alcohol and
zanac bars (pills), he loved those pills.
He was at his mothers house with his
fiance' and they were both drinking,
popping pills. He falls asleep and his
fiance' leaves the room to let him sleep.
When she came back he was dead and
already blue! He often told us that he
had a feeling like he wasn't going to live
to see his twenty first birthday and he
was right, he died febuary 13 and his
twenty first birthday was going to be
april 13th 2004. Till this day no one
knows if he commited suicide or he just
accidently overdosed. So to tell everyone
now to prevent this from ever happening to
anyone else, alcohol and pills do not
mix!!!!!

Wow that was really sad to read. I can't
believe if she knew you would be there for
her why she still considered in committing
suicide. It's sad especially for her
kids.
Did you ever get to meet the kids?
I also hope that the lord may forgive her
and watch over her kids.....
Sorry to hear that.

Those who commit suicide are just as ill
as those who have cancer or any other
disease. They cannot help what they have
done and although seemingly selfish one
must understand the reasong behind it. I
have lost many people in my life to
suicide and although my intial feelings of
sadness turned into anger, wondering how
they could have done this to their family
I have to keep reminding myself that they
did not do this to hurt anyone but to save
themselves. I'm sure she is finally at
peace now and hope that those around her
are able to deal with her death.
