Rest In Peace

There’s no way to validate why someone takes their own life. Some are better at hiding it then some.
Before my daughter took her life she tried unsuccessfully a couple of times. I tried everything I could think of to get her help. The insurance rules said she couldn’t be on my health insurance after she turned 26. Insurance companies wanted $800 a month to give her insurance. She was going to some state run mental health place that offered no help except to prescribe drugs that didn’t help at all. The medical and insurance industries failed her completely.

We had no clue to my baby sis’s intentions until it was too late. We started to piece together stuff after she was gone. Me being accepted into the military (It was her idea for us to go in together on the buddy system). I had no inclination to join before hand, I was in college at the time. I couldn’t let her go by herself, she was a wild spirit and was 4 months pregnant at the time of her death. She hid that very well also.

Jeremy Giambi, lesser known brother of Jason. Played for the A's and Royals. He was the player that didn't slide on Jeter's "flip". Was only 47. Not sure the cause yet.
 
makes you wonder how she could have been so depressed enough to do that
I get it. And I'm not just saying that for reaction. I've been on anti-depressants since my teenage years, and they really don't work that great. But I find ways to hold on for those around me. When you feel like you're drowning in darkness, and the pain just never stops, it overwhelms one's natural reasoning, or allows one to reason that just maybe in death there will finally be peace. Depression that deep is soul cancer. It eats away at the core of who you are, and tricks you into thinking you're worthless, and that your loss will not be felt. You think those you love will be better off without the burden you see yourself as being. There is nothing rational about it, so trying to see it rationally is pointless. But if you've felt it, you know it, and you understand how it happens. Not justifying it in any way. I've been on the other side of having lost someone to suicide as well, and there is no justifying the pain of those left to grieve.
