It's a shame there is such a thing as a mean post.

I'm sorry, RT. I wish there was some way to make it better.

Demitre shot himself on Saturday. No idea what prompted it or what was going on. He was probably in the top twenty people in my sister's life and very close to the whole family. He opened a restaurant about a year and a half ago that is doing really well, and they are just about to open a second restaurant. I don't know details because people were trying to keep it from me because I had a shitty week of my own and no one wanted to add to my sadness. Memorial service on Sunday.

This is the third one in a year. About a year ago, James jumped off a 7th floor parking garage. In October, Daniel-Kayne hung himself in his studio.

I helped one out in April, and she sent me "thanks for helping me get inpatient services, I think you saved my life" flowers. Which was nice. But still, this fucking sucks.

Damn. I am sorry. That sounds like almost too much to take.

That sucks, sorry. Did the three know each other? Serial suicides baffle me. A very close friend killed himself 30 years ago. Seeing what that did to his family, and knowing what it did to me, I could never consider it. Unless you've got Kavorkian level illness there is no valid reason, given the damage you leave.

Fuck. I'm really sorry about this, RT. Completely awful.

Some people bear a crushing burden, and it takes all of their effort not to check out. We're all in separate elevators hanging by ropes, and sometimes the rope surrenders to the weight. The best we can do is tell each other, "I'm hanging here, too."

So sorry, RT.

I'm so sorry. Just one of these situations would be hard to bear.

I think Dimitre knew Daniel-Kayne, but I don't know if he knew James. James and Daniel-Kayne I think may have met. I was closest to Dimitre, but I knew Daniel-Kayne pretty well and missed him at the party he was supposed to go to the day he died. James I knew mainly through other people, though I spent a few weekends with him.

Through discussions with two or three people who've expressed suicidal thoughts(?), I sort of get the despair and bleakness that makes people think there's no other option, but I don't share it a single bit. I'm more pissed than anything else. But I'm also pretty sad.

Some people can't deal with their lives. That can come from a lot of places -- mental illness, years of trying and failing, self-indulgence, trauma..... The list goes on. Some even think they are doing their loved ones a favor by removing a burden from said loved ones' lives.

This all makes me so sad.

Suicide stuff totally bumming me out
 
and that's not so good right now. Anyway. Can anyone help me figure out what song I'm thinking of? I'm hearing female voice singing "just be" as kinda an intermezzo. Song I think (sadly) not called "just be."

Because as my therapist said, we are human beings, not human doings.

Could it be Anna Nalick, "Breathe"?
