Be surprised.
ReplyIt's happened to me before and it's heartbreaking. I wish they would have thought of the impact it had on the people around them. They would have never done it.

Replyif i spoke with that person occasionally i would feel like i failed that person, for the people i never spoke to before that did that i always feel we all have failed that person immensely. in any case it makes me sad every time and reminds me of my dear friend who ended her life as well
ReplyIt would genuinely make me sad. It's overwhelming to think about it all the time, but everyone has a life that is just as complex as our own. It's easier to view people that you don't know as being in the background, but that simply isn't the case. I may not know them, but those "people in the background" have people that they love, that love them; those people all have dreams and aspirations and accomplishments that I will never know about. I don't need to know all of the details to know that life is infinitely complex, beautiful, and fragile.
