I just lost a 35 year old friend to heart fail several weeks ago.Not too long back my ex girls friend shot herself in her 20s.Both her and I were not hanging out as much as we could with these ppl so when they died we felt bad about that,avoiding calls sometimes,you know the drill.Thing is,we all still loved eachother and 1 or 2 nights of fighting does not change years of being friends.I also have a friend that is suicidal,very intellectual guy but no common sense.Ive been trying to help him for 5 years or so but he gets himself into so many bad situations sometimes I want to kick his butt.We get in fights,he uses me,I know it,he tried to get me to do a drug he knew I had issues with many years ago and told him all about it so I told him HOW DARE YOU SON OF A B word,and bailed.We have fights and you know what,everyone hase doen all they can,trust me.I just have to accept that some day he may really do it.I feel that if they think they could do it once,they will always have that in them.What Im getting at is,you could have stopped him sure,if he truely wanted you to and he would hav called you,otherwise,its in their hands.He did not call because he had made the choice and if it wasnt him,then it was the drugs.Another reason to fight drug use but thats another topic.If anything,he would like you to stand up and say something good about him,maybe at the service,or just tell others about him.Bro,he most certainly would not want you to feel like its your fault or he would have told you so.Very sorry man,best wishes for healing,it takes time.
