Paul, I am glad you posted this. I said in a previous post pretty much the same thing. I felt bad because I thought I was being kind of rough when I said suicide was a selfish act. I knew a few people who have committed suicide without any notes or even the slightest hint. Leaving those of us they left behind with so many questions we will never know the answers to. Last October my friend found her 21 y.o. son dead. She has not been the same since & probably never will be.
