He Lost Himself

I visited and slept at my aunt's house the day before today. I felt bad that her neighbor hanged himself and ended his life. According to hearsay, he was asking for some money from his friends, but no one gave any to him. I assumed that he lost his mind and did the unthinkable option. In my mind, he might be in a depressed state, and no one did not think it was happening. Can I ask some prayers for him? Image Credit: iphm.co.uk

Yes, it was. I felt bad because he ended his life so soon.

@cherigucchi You said it right. I guess he cannot find someone to lean on at that moment.

I think he is. He lost his job, children, and wife. I must say that it was one of the reasons.

@rakski Most of his friends are feeling guilty because they did not attend to his sentiments in life.

That is unfortunate to hear. I believe he tried to seek help, but no one heard his cries and concluded that ending his life would shorten it. I just pray and hope for peace because I know the noise could have been unbearable for him and a simple gesture of sympathy could have saved him, but it appeared that no one heard or felt his desperate need for it.

@Shavkat A person in this kind of situation often needs someone to listen to them. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be too late to realize the signs. I had a cousin who went through a similar experience after a difficult breakup with his girlfriend. In the days leading up to his tragic passing, he posted a picture of a rope knotted as if prepared for hanging, but no one recognized it as a warning until it was too late. He never directly asked for help, but his posts gradually revealed subtle hints of his struggles.

I learned that he called all his friends the night before it happened. No one dares to attend to his concern. I just felt bad and prayed for him to be at peace now.

Sometimes people do odd things. I'm sorry that happened and hope your aunt doesn't feel at all responsible for it... You never know what someone is thinking for sure.

@Shavkat He may have but there wasn't anything anyone could do if he did. People like that are called "ticking time bombs" for a reason. You never know if something will happen to push them over the edge or when...

When it did happen, the close friends that he thought were feeling guilt. It was not that bad to ask a few dollars from their pockets.

May he Rest in peace. Some people think ending life is the only solution for all the problems so they take extreme step.

I have to agree with you. Nobody had anticipated that he would act in this manner. The only thing that I and the other affected individuals can do since it happened is pray for him and find peace.
