The article asked why did this happens. I'll tell you why. It's because people are suffering from depression and their not getting treated for it. Depression is a disease, like cancer or any other illness, and untreated, it is deadly. Untreated depression is what caused my father to complete suicide.
People better start taking this seriously. I wish I had. Unless you've lived this nightmare, you just don't even have a clue to how it effects you the rest of your life. Needless to say, you are changed forever, never the same again. It's been 7 years since my dad took his life. I've done the therapy thing, counceling thing, anti-depressant thing, group thing, even a internet suicide support group, this is something that no amount of threrapy will cure you off. You have to learn to live with the fact that a loved one took their life and in some way, you could have had a play in it, or could have stopped it, the worst guilt trip a person could ever be on.
To this day, I still have nightmares about that night. My heart goes out to their families. I know the hell that they are living now.
