    Off yourself in a way that won’t traumatize the people you leave behind

    That’s not possible. Suicide is an inherently selfish act.

      I used to think that, it took talking to people that lost loved ones to suicide and learning more about it to feel far more empathy - imagine seeing the world without you, to picture your family happier with you gone. Utter despair where dying is the appealing option.

      Yes, **if ** and that’s a massive if, this was a dramatic last act it may have been malicious or selfish….or an irrational, impulsive and ultimately tragic decision.

      I feel sorry for everyone involved. Its horrible.
