 I'm so sorry for your loss.

Instead of people saying good things about those who commit suicide, we all need to speak the truth.  They are selfish people who hurt everyone around them.  Suicide is not only foolish, it is hateful and harmful to everyone who cares about them. 
 You obviously haven’t had a loved one commit suicide. If you don’t have anything positive to say to someone who is obviously grieving SHUT THE FUCK UP 😒 
 I've seen all of the loved ones who were destroyed by those who committed suicide and it breaks my heart what it does to those who loved that person: parents, kids, friends, spouses.  There isn't anything more hateful that you can do to a loved one than commit suicide because it fills the loved one with guilt and remorse.  I guess I care more about those left behind, that were destroyed by the suicider's actions.

I've also seen one suicide lead to another and lead to another.  If the first suicide hadn't happened, neither would the others, so it causes great harm.  I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings, but this is a problem that needs to stop and holding those who commit suicide up as saints makes those that are hurting more likely to commit suicide. 
 You’re not sorry it hurts my feeling you’re just talking nonsense about things you no nothing about.  Stop hating on those who had no support when they obviously needed help. Until you lose a loved one (l lost my Dad) I suggest you don’t go around spreading negativity. I know first hand and trust me I’ve gone through hell and back and I would never ever consider suicide the solution. If anything my Dad doing Shay he did is the reason why I would never consider it. Because I KNOW FIRST HAND suicide is NOT the solution. So essentially because of what he did , suicide is out of the question. It’s not an option cause I know how it feels to be left behind.
