He didn't welcome that kind of interaction from us; at least that was my impression. And I truly don't think it would have changed the outcome. Doesn't mean that was the right choice, but it is reality IMO. <br /><br />I am sad for him on so many levels. There is a lesson here.<br /><br />I hope you are well. :)Barb B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057911927790802422.post-53272494760834417312011-12-04T06:32:35.385-08:002011-12-04T06:32:35.385-08:00I'm sorry Rick.

These were many years ago, but I still remember; each time it comes back to me the helpless and agonizing feeling is almost overwhelming. Suicide is definitely not painless for anyone who knows the victim.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057911927790802422.post-76912193476326583582011-12-01T15:17:32.293-08:002011-12-01T15:17:32.293-08:00Suicide is never painless - it takes a lot of pain...Suicide is never painless - it takes a lot of pain and heartbreak to reach the point of contemplating it. Once done, pain is left behind with those who live on and regret, regret things said or left unsaid.<br /><br />It is impossible to say things might have been different if you had called him - but you had considered it and that in itself is important, a marker that you are a good person.<br /><br />My thoughts are with you.<br /><br />Anna :o]hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057911927790802422.post-80990457216839054252011-12-01T14:29:13.221-08:002011-12-01T14:29:13.221-08:00My condolences, Rick.My condolences, Rick.citybuoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750180276675423002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057911927790802422.post-18325926963950632962011-12-01T06:12:58.741-08:002011-12-01T06:12:58.741-08:00I've had to see this scence a few times.
