Trigger...suicide of a friend

Posted by Phil on October 21, 2008, at 11:24:52

In the little town I grew up in, everyone knew everyone. Margaret(not real name) and I were the same age and I think shared the same classrooms from 1st grade through our senior year.
She married right out of high school and was still married to the same man.
He and his daughter went home for lunch yesterday and Margaret had hung herself in the back yard.
She had been depressed for months, tried meds which didn't help, and decided to end it.
I just happened to read an article later on MSNBC that said middle aged women are starting to bump the suicide numbers up. It's a trend they have been following.
I was going to write more but this has taken it out of me.
Call 911, your old friends never, ever forget you.
Stay strong.
