Sorry to hear that, DR. I lost a good friend to that situation. It was a horrible path for him because he was acutely aware of his own situation. He, his friends, and his family did everything that was possible to help and, in the end, he couldn't take it and took his own life . He was one of my first fishing buddies and it is hard to even describe the last time I fished with him. I could actually look at him and see him wincing with the internal stuggle going on in his head.

I wish your friend all the best. I'm not big into prayers but I'll certainly be thinking of your friend and send him some positive mental vibes. Hang in there. As you probably know, this is likely just the start of this situation and it will be hard on everyone.
