Too many tears

I am shocked and sad and have shed quite a few tears over the past 12 hours. Last night, I learned that a friend and a mentor committed suicide. Some of the details are messy and I realize now there were things about this guy many of us didn't know. Right now I don’t feel like doing much of anything, but since I had already prepared a post for today and my quote post for tomorrow, I’ll go ahead and run them. I’m not sure how much reading and commenting I’ll be doing over the next few days as I need to sort some things out.

    Sage I am so very very sorry. You will be in my thoughts and prayers along with your friends family! What a sad thing when someone feels the need to take their own life.

    It's catching? One of my best friends attempted suicide 2 days ago, and thank God she didn't succeed. I am sorry about your friend, Sage, and I hope you can find peace about it.

    Thanks for the kind words, the numbness is still present but I'm doing okay.

    I'm no Angel, if you're who I think you are, you're right, you're not an angel, but for a mortal, you're pretty good! Thanks for the perspective. Are you studing up to visit your cousin in Ghana?

    Seems like this world is full of senseless acts. Someday we will all be able to go someplace that makes more sense. Until then, we get by the best we can.

    Take care Sage. We'll be here when you're back.

    I am sorry for your loss. I too have lost people close to me.

    Sometimes life just feels so futile: do your best to be a good person, to help others and be self-sacrificing and get old and die anyway...

    Kind of a bummer. People get tired and depressed. Life beats us down and it's hard to make a comeback...
