My best friend from college (biracial) committed suicide two years ago.
We (my boyfriend and I) saw her about 36 hours before it happened...we had never seen her like that before. She didn't mention killing herself AT ALL, but she was very disoriented...almost as if she had taken some bad drugs. She was talking about quitting school and looked very disheveled. She was going to meet another good friend, who took her to her place and watched over her for a day until taking her home, otherwise we would have taken her with us. She had people with her who could have stopped her, and did try to make her feel better, right up until the very end.
It's said that the person who commits suicide only dies one death, but his or her survivors die a thousand more.
