Depressing. I'm at a loss for words.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Well, I hate to start another depressing thread, but I’ve just received some awful news. In light of the fact that I missed the original voicemail message, and didn’t hear it until tonight, and that I don’t have the means to get myself back out to California to say goodbye properly, I feel I should do something.

I have just heard that one of my old friends has shot himself. I haven’t talked to the guy in at least a year or two, but he was a great guy, and was there for me when I needed help. I wish I could have been there for him.

Chad, you will be missed.

(((((((TeleTronOne))))))), my deepest sympathies.

I won’t tell you that I know what your’e going through. Every loss is different.
Peace to you, your friend and his family.

How very sad. Take care of yourself.

This is sad news - I hope Chad has found peace.
I feel for you, and having never been through your experience, I cannot imagine your pain. Hang in there.

6

Good luck with it, TeleTronOne, I am truly sorry you have to bear this. There’s probably really not much you could have done about it.

7

I’m so sorry.

8

I’m sorry, there’s no more I can say.

That’s terrible news, and I am so sorry this happened to you. :frowning:

What a wrenching experience, I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

I’m so sorry. My thoughts are with you (and my email is available if you need to talk).

Do something in memory of him. Donate to a charity in his name. Plant a tree. Buy a plank at the zoo. Buy a brick at the courthouse.

Use your sadness in a positive manner.

Sorry for your loss.
God says “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”

I hope you can find some peace today

I’m so sorry- my thoughts go out to those who knew him.

14

I’m sorry.

15

I’m so sorry. Feeling helpless is terrible. If I can quote what Col. Potter said to Hawkeye in MASH*, “Rule number 1 is People die.’ Rule number 2 is ‘Doctors can’t change rule number 1.’” We cannot save everyone, only do what we can. You have done what you could. E-mail me or call me if you need me.

I’m so sorry to hear that.

What terrible news to get. It’s so tragic to think that for a guy who was there when people needed him, there was no one when he needed someone.

Not that I think that guy should have been you, TTO… It just sounds like he was deeply troubled. My condolences to his loved ones.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. It really means a lot to me, and if Chad could read this, I think he’d appreciate it, too.
