Suicide hurts

UPDATED : 03/11/2010 : Due to copy write laws I had to change the song & edit the video. I put together this video in memory of my older brother Chris . March 2, 2003 Chris passed away from the act of suicide. We miss him terribly , seven years and it never gets any easier.

I am extremely sorry for your loss... but I think its unfair to say that these people don't care. They do, of course, they do! I do. I wouldn't have come here to watch these videos and get a real feel of what my family might go through. I persuaded myself a number of times only because I thought of my family. What people don't realize is that sometimes its just very necessary. There is nothing you could about your life, nothing would change it and its genuinely true.

@invisiblereflexn Honey I'm not saying people don't care, but there was some really mean comments left on the video. Some was so harsh I had to delete them , people telling me my brother " Deserved to die " . It kills me when people who haven't been on the other end judge people. They say " They was weak " , my brother was far from weak. He was one of the strongest people I knew, but his addiction inevitably won out in the end. Maybe he was weak to the addiction, but not in his every day life.

those that succeeded at suicide are NOT weak. they are incredibly strong. I know because I am one of the weak ones. I have failed over and over..so many times it makes me afraid to try again. you can NOT imagine how deep the dispair and loneliness is. think about YOU pulling the trigger on yourself. think about how HARD it would be. you would have to be very very strong willed to go thru with it!

how can you say suicide's for the weakpeople? I lost a good friend this past spring who was told he was never gonna walk again, on the 4th of july in 2007, he was the strongest person i know to this day, he was so proud and one hell of a swimmer, he was mostlikely gonna go to the olympics. Even though he was told he was never gonna walk again that never stoped him, he took his own life this year right before his 18th birthday he was a good guy and not once ever called "Weak" ripdusty we love you

@Bree1059 I understand and I'm extremely sorry for loss. I can't stand people who feel the right to judge when they don't know the person and the things he has been through. Thanks for sharing this video.

@jonesgerard

I surrended and I am still in despair and nothing has changed. I admitt the truth and still would rather die. What am I doing wrong?

[Laurajt86]

:'( now im crying, this was a touching video and im sorry for your loss.

[jonesgerard]

Most addicts commit suicide, I am one of those who recovered to sanity, quite simply by working the 12 steps and swallowing the truth about me.

Its testemant to the grip of insanity that the solution is so very simple but most would rther die than admit the truth.

Know that there was nothing you could have done, you don't have the power of God.

Convinced against our will, we are of the same opinion still.

Until I surrendered...nothing changed.

If you do the same you'll get free.

@konvicted2007 tell someone before it's too late cuz the person will be mad at u for telling someone but they will be thanking u later for saving their life. If u don't tell someone they could committ suicide. Say something to someone before it's to late.
