It certainly did for me, both for my FB friend and for a cousin who passed away early last year. Mostly because both individuals were in the same age bracket as myself.G. B.

I try not to dwell on the death situations too much. You make the most important point I think when you ask what you could have done for someone in their life. I think that's what matters most and what we often forget.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-71954681318171728552016-01-10T20:12:19.519-05:002016-01-10T20:12:19.519-05:00I can deal, to relatively good degree, the death o...I can deal, to relatively good degree, the death of immediate family members.

I've had several friends and acquaintances who committed suicide over the years and it always causes me to re-examine whether I might have reached out more to them or in a different way to help them cope. It's always a frustrating and ultimately powerless "what if" kind of reaction, but a very human impulse.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-33412179022785678572016-01-10T13:22:24.278-05:002016-01-10T13:22:24.278-05:00Thanks.

Even if you had been more 'active' in his life you wouldn't have been able to save him. Depression is a bitch, and you can't be there for someone 24 hours a day to protect them. No one can.
