You were a very young person when your friend took his life. Even mature adults find they cannot prevent another person from suicide. Honor the name and memory of your friend by volunteering to do a good deed for someone else.
When I was in Middle school my best friend and I were hanging out in his room. He decided to pull out his dads 9mm and ask me if we would do a suicide together.I told him no and went into a how great life story is. A day passed by and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I kept thinking what if he wasn’t joking. I called his older brother who I knew as well and told him what happened. And that I really thought that he was going to do it. His brother brushed me off. He said he didn’t believe me. That Friday he took his own life in his parents bedroom with that gun. I understand how you feel. It is something we will carry with ourselves the rest of our
lives. One thing I did was I talked to his mom about what happened and why I think he did it. And I told her that I was sorry. She wasn’t upset with me. And that helped my healing. my friend if the gulit is is causing you hurt and bad behavior please get help. And take care.
I don’t know your truth in all this & I don’t want to, this is between you & God however just know he may have done this without you having any control. Don’t blame yourself is my only point here.
Don’t be hard on yourself. You’re not an evil person. In hindsight it’s easy to see how you could have prevented something, don’t forget that it may not have been so obvious then. You didn’t kill your friend–they killed themselves.
