I've never really thought much about my feelings on suicide until today when it was thrust upon me in the most horrible way. Right after talking to my father on the phone at lunch today he chose to take his own life. He was 86 years old and has been quite ill for the last year or so with chronic COPD and bouts of CHF and had been hospitalized 5 times in the last year. He has been very depressed since my Mom died of cancer in 2006 and had gotten more so as his health began failing him this year.
It's obviously too early to completely comprehend how I feel about it, but I answered the poll "somewhat" as my feeling are currently going back and forth between being extremely sad that he felt so hopeless, and angry that he subjected me my wife and son to such a horrendous ending to his life.
