Always hard to deal with, and hard to understand why someone would choose a permanent solution to what's probably a temporary situation.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that she was also my wife's cousin which will just make this even harder. I am in a total state of shock right now. She was the coolest person on my wife's side of the fam and was super fun to be around.

Damn goldy, that's one of the things in my life that I wish others didn't have to know. I've seen death way too many times. Depression is an evil beast that affects us all and some worse than others. The only thing that can tame it is love, compassion, and as much happiness as you can squeeze out of this big sour world. You have my well wishes for you and your family.

I have no tips to give and my words of condolences cannot express how much I feel your pain, but the one thing you can do is to be the most available you can... Show an effort to be there and your wife will understand... I am truly sorry.......

I'm sorry to hear this Goldy, I know how you feel (kinda). A buddy of mine that I used to work with couple of years ago just killed himself last week. It's quite a shock to the system. It's a flood of emotions. The only thing that I can say is just be there as much as you can for your wife (Which I'm sure you are).

My condolences and prayers to you and your family.

My condolences too...my cousin and I were best friends growing up and then in our teens/20s we grew apart and hadn't been in contact in years...then he committed suicide about two years ago. So on top grieving, I had the guilt of being a bad cousin/friend to him.

Sadly, I've had lots of friends that have killed themselves, but never a relative. My condolences to you and your wife and family. I don't know about you, but I've always found solice in prayer for the lost, and the the family of the lost. It helps me deal with the anger from the totally selfish act of suicide - which is really committed against the family...

My thoughts are with you and your family. When I have to deal with death (which is quite often) I try to stay busy to keep my mind off from it while at work. I also try to talk it out with whomever will listen and this helps me with staying sane and to cope with it.

Send her some flowers from where ever you are to let her know you were thinking about her and made the effort. Also tell her to call anytime she needs but becareful about calling her to much and when you do ask her hows shes doing and dont bring up the topic directly unless she does. when you do talk to her talk about happy things like favorite tv shows you enjoy together or hobbies you have incommon. My prayers go out to you.
