    I'm only 17 and this January I lost my dad from a drug overdose. I never knew he was doing drugs this was so sudden but he was the kindest dad ever, I guess he just had some problems, I love you dad I'll stay strong for you.
    EDIT: It's been three years since I posted this and the support and attention on this comment has been unreal everyone. I'm in a lot better of a place now than where I was back then, time is definitely one the best medicines. It'll always hurt to think about, but having good people in your life really is key. Keep going and don't give up, even if it seems that all hope is lost because things will eventually get better, which everyone's immense positivity help me realize. I can't thank anyone who left a kind comment enough for the sincere words, you guys have no idea what that meant to me I never expected this much attention. Thank you all so much and continue to stay strong!

    When I was in highschool my Mother was a huge Fray fan and got me hip instantly. We used to listen to this one in particular a lot. She had a habit of helping people, and it often took a lot out of her. I think this song sort helped her feel her way through the 'muck' so to speak. She had a lot of her own issues and I think helping others took the spotlight off of that. She knew how to save others, but couldn't seem to save herself. She drank a lot unfortuantely. As time went on, that grew into substance abuse, and eventually addiction. She still played this song a lot though, trying to remain positive.
    Last year in April, the 5th, she lost that fight.
    Things are different now. This song is different now. I still love it, but I find it very hard to listen to at times. I still have the memories, pictures, old voicemails I refuse to delete, but not her.
    I keep going because I feel that I have to, for her. Some days are easy, some days are really, really, hard. I have lots of questions, lots of things to say that I will never get to. In time things will settle, life will return to normal, or whatever the new normal will be.
    Now, this song has found me again, at a time where it seems I have to save my own life.
    This ones for you Mom, and for me, and for anyone else struggling, for those worried about loved ones, whoever needs it.
    Please keep going.

    I remember when my close friend killed himself. It was the toughest time in my life. He was only 12 at the time and his dad really abused him, and some days he would go without food. I remember getting told about it and feeling devastated, but I felt bad about myself, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I could have done to help him, and it has for the last few years. I’m currently 14 and there is not a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. I’ll always remember his smile, and the time we got caught drinking beers in my garage. I loved you Tom like brother.
    I remember reading his note that he left out on the table before he left. All it said was “it’s not your fault. I just wasn’t meant to be here. Just don’t get beat up over me. You’re all better off without me.” Reading that cracked my heart. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, and how he was the brightest thing in my life. This was always his favourite song and he always listened to it in the morning on the way to school. Tom, I just want to say that wherever you are, I hope you fit in there, and get the love you truly deserved.

      Reading this comment, reminded me of most of friends experiencing this on their own and couldn't tell anyone about it, because they were trapped and had no where to escape the worst. I offered many suggestions to them and they had an idea of trying to hold themselves out and need to find a way out as quick as possible. I wish, I could help that person with his father also abusing them, because of not being better than other people in his class and must get the highest grades in the school. It hurts to not do anything for this person, so all I can do is keep in contact and pray that they'll be ok. It's so saddening to hear such stories on young people having to experience such a traumatic parts of their life, which having to mentally and physically hurt themselves to the core of no return. Just remember that your friend will always be in your heart and you couldn't read his thoughts, even if you wanted too, but stay strong for him, no matter.

    almost 10 years ago, when i was still a teenager in highschool, being bullied by classmates was part of a usual day so i would make myself small and silent. All of this made a depressive teenager and it was getting darker as it went. I was losing interest in going to school. One day out of no where two people came and sat next to me (where i would always go during breaks) they sat next to me and lightly tried to engage a conversation, not wanting to engage i would continue reading. so they sat next to me and continued talking together. everyday they came and sat at the same spot, next to me, and they would talk together. After some time i slowly started talking to them, and in no time i had made new friends and my days were starting to become brighter. By doing this simple action they might have actually saved a life! one of the two became a very good friend. I am glad she was there for me, and to this day she does not know how her actions affected me in a positive way.

      "Runes of comfort for the bereaved"
      by Ralph Blum
      "I am the life and the light and the way-
      The Earth is my garden.
      Each of the souls I plant as seeds germinate and flower in its own season, and in each I am fulfilled.
      There is no cause for grief when a bloom fades but only rejoicing for the beauty it held and praise that my will is done and my plan served.
      I am one with all creatures and none is ever lost, only restored unto me having never left my side at all.
      For what is it mortal cannot be separated from its source.
      I am with you all,
      And each of you is a channel for my light.
      Feel My Love enfold you now and forever more."

    This song means a lot of things for me. And probably for everyone else. For years, I've struggled with my mental health, and as a result, I've lost a lot of friends. On the other hand, it drove me to multiple suicide attempts. The man who is now my best friend saved my life. He lost his father to suicide before he was born and knew the pain. He pointed out to me how much hurt it would produce if I ended up following through with my plans. Thank you, Axden. Mum, I'm sorry I ever thought it was a good idea. Dad, I love you to bits. I'm sorry for how I treated you. Archie. I dont tell you how much I love you as often as I should. But as your older brother, know I do love you to bits. To all the people I mistreated in moments of anger, bitterness, and misery. I'm sorry. I hope one day you can forgive me.
    And to the Fray. Thank you for making this song. God bless you all.

I also said some harsh things in my lowest moments to the people who I loved the most. I don’t know exactly what your situation was so I won’t compare but I’m glad you shared your story .

    Lost one of my best friends to suicide 7 years ago. This song came out when we were in high school, and it reminds me of the good times we spent together. I unintentionally come back here once a year to reminisce, usually after midnight, when everything is quiet. Today is one of these days.
    Luis, wherever you are, I miss you man. I know life was a burden to you, but you are still alive in our thoughts. RIP

    This is empathy 101. If a depressed person is suicidal it is never because he/she wants to die. Its just that living is to hard in his/her perspective. The art in saving someone is in showing them alternatives while starting from their perspective.

    I'm literally inches from death. Lost everything I ever worked for or called mine. I'm a severe drug addict right now; up to my eyeballs in debt. Something inside me died a few years ago and my life has been a downward spiral ever since.
    But I need to change. There has to be a way. My life is ruined beyond repair but I need to atleast salvage something. Its the more noble way to go out. Hopefully life goes on, and gets better, and i see you here in 2 years.

    LYRICS:
    Step one, you say we need to talk
    He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
    He smiles politely back at you
    You stare politely right on through
    Some sort of window to your right
    As he goes left, and you stay right
    Between the lines of fear and blame
    You begin to wonder why you came
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Let him know that you know best
    'Cause after all, you do know best
    Try to slip past his defense
    Without granting innocence
    Lay down a list of what is wrong
    The things you've told him all along
    And pray to God he hears you
    And I pray to God he hears you
    And where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    As he begins to raise his voice
    You lower yours and grant him one last choice
    Drive until you lose the road
    Or break with the ones you've followed
    He will do one of two things
    He will admit to everything
    Or he'll say he's just not the same
    And you'll begin to wonder why you came
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    How to save a life
    How to save a life
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    How to save a life
    How to save a life

    I lost my brother to suicide on December 31st, I found him with my mom. It was so shocking I saw him that morning but I didn't even say hi and stayed on my laptop. He had schizophrenia and got new meds so I thought maybe give him time to rest. i don't know. He was 26 turning 27. If I could give half of my life to bring him back I would. All my friends didn't really know how to comfort me so I got mad and now I have no friends anymore. I don't do anything and sometimes I wonder if I should even exist. I have faith things will change but what's the point? But I know how much pain and suffering and heartbreak my mom got when he died because he cared for her so much they were best friends. I try my best to go out and be ok but I can't afford a therapist or to even do things by myself so I just end up watching tv wasting my life and crying.

    My dear friend died in a bike crash many years ago. Half of his face and body were badly crushed, and I’ve forgotten how they looked. But I still vividly remember how broken I felt that day. I cried while holding him in the morgue, remembering that only a week before, I had joined his family for dinner.
    At that dinner, I could feel the joy radiating from his little family of three. I've always admired his grateful family and did everything I could to protect them. He was a good father and husband, someone I looked up to. On the day of the accident, some erratic drivers caused my friend to make a dangerous maneuver, just when he was exhausted from all his hard work and duties. To this day, I still regret I couldn't help him more

    It's been eight long years since I lost a dear friend to suicide. Friends from high school, we met up again when he started coming into my work at least once a week. When I was going through a really hard time, where I wasn't honest with the depression I was going through, my weekly conversations kept me going just as much as seeing my children's faces. I was working up the courage to tell him how much those moments meant to me and what HE meant to me. My friends knew I was into him, but I didn't think he could ever feel that same way about me. I was so down on myself, I didn't think anyone could ever want me. I never got the chance to tell him...he was battling his own demons. After going through a bad breakup, he was a light in the dark. Even though I've moved on, been with the man of my dreams for almost seven years and married for three and a half, the "what ifs" go through my head.

    This song is about the lead singer's experience with a friend who was struggling with substance abuse and the lead singer's feelings of helplessness in trying to help his friend. The song addresses themes of regret, empathy, and the desire to reach out and help someone in need. It became popular for its emotional lyrics and powerful message about the importance of reaching out to those who are struggling.

      Hurtful yes, but how do you give anyone hope that things get better. Because it’s not a fact that things get better. For some people, it never gets better. At that point, the only hope you can give them is that this life isn’t all there is. At some point, the suffering does end, and then peace begins forever. That’s the symbolic message of Christ. The end of his life was suffering, but at last he could rest in Heaven. Hope can’t be given by small reassurances because often the suffering is too great. There wasn’t hope for Jesus on the cross, not in that moment, but there was hope after. So you want my advice, help people whenever practically possible, but when help isn’t possible, give them Christ.

      @@godisgood201 Not to rain on the parade, but people will be eternally remorseful if they think they will just go to heaven when they die. Even though eternal life is a free gift, they need to understand the gospel of salvation found in the Bible and receive that free gift of eternal life by trusting completely in Christ and His finished work on the cross for them for salvation from eternal damnation. Once they truly do, then they are born anew, and then they know exactly where they're going when they die. Not because of any works of righteousness which they have done, and not because of any sins which they didn't do... or will ever do... but because of God's mercy to us in Christ, and the redemption that we have through His innocent blood, which He shed on the cross for the remission of our sins.

    Yesterday, I witnessed a suicide attempt. I was on a foot bridge and suddenly a girl went up to the edge of the railing. I panicked. I did not know what to do. My initial reaction is to call for someone to help. Another passer by was able to pull her away, and she cried so hard. All I can do is console the girl, and assist her to a nearby clinic. I wish I was stronger. I’m ashamed of my reaction at that moment.

      The Earth is my garden.
      Each of the souls I plant as seeds germinate and flower in its own season, and in each I am fulfilled.
      There is no cause for grief when a bloom fades but only rejoicing for the beauty it held and praise that my will is done and my plan served.
      I am one with all creatures and none is ever lost, only restored unto me having never left my side at all.
      For what is it mortal cannot be separated from its source.
      I am with you all,
      And each of you is a channel for my light.

      I have lost my entire family to life illness and other things..but always had my wife of 18yrs..then she divorced me....I was almost homeless and had to give away my only friend ..my horse for I couldn't afford to feed him also. I prayed to God to please take me...and if he didn't I would know that he had a plan for me....fast forward I am making more money than I ever did and am living comfortably still am a single guy and get offers for dates and things...but I just want my wife back......though I know she will never be back....I guess we all carry some type of pain around.

    I lost a dear friend of mine who passed away on the 24th of April earlier this year.. She took her own life because things for her were far too harsh, and she didn't know who or what to turn to. She kept being faced with hardships one after another until it was overwhelming.. I listen to this song often, because I wish I'd known more about her situation at the time. I wish I had more resources at the time, and most of all I wish I could have been there for my dear friend so I could have at least tried to save her life.. It still tears me up to this day, and it always will.. My only hope now is that she's not suffering anymore.

I feel as if no one cares anymore so what’s the point now.

      In the past year alone:
      -figured out that my girlfriend I was together with for 5 years, only cared because she felt sorry for me
      - figured out one of my best friends was an empath and every problem of mine was her's, I could never look at her eyes, because she would always look back and start to cry
      - moved away from best friends that I new half my life
      - I went to an after school teen center, on my last day, the manager had everybody throw a big departure party
      -I was head of an after school Magic The Gathering club, on my last day, everybody gave me something that I will never give/throw away. A custom build deck box that said "May your deck be as good as your friendship".
      - my childhood home was put on the market, because we were finding a new home.
      -emailed one of my friends from Germany (the place I moved from) and told her that I missed her, and she replied that she didn't even notice that I moved.
      No matter what, never give up hope. Things will always get better. I don;t expect anyone to read my problems, but if you do, I hope that you never have to endure the pain that I felt.

    Every time I hear this song, I cry for all of those that are in pain, feel hopeless, and think that the pain is never going to end. The pain can end... (in a positive way..)
    Back at the end of 2017, my best friend attempted. She was struggling for at least 6 months. She felt like she was losing her mind, her car was breaking down, she was getting into financial trouble, and nothing was professionally working out for her. Everything was just piling up on her. On top of that, she told her sister that she wanted to end it and her sister called the cops on her, and the landlord found out (she had been staying at a guesthouse).
    I stayed the weekend with her to help her feel better, and tried to help her get through it, but it didn't work. She felt guilty that I unconditionally loved her when she felt that she didn't deserve that love. I did stay up with her all night the last night.. I made the mistake of going to work on Monday and nearly lost her. I figured.. it doesn't matter what I say or do.. She is going to do what she wants, but at least she knows I care..
    I texted her throughout the day and she said that she felt better. But then at 3 I didn't hear from her. I figured she was taking a nap. I got very worried about her and left work early. I got to her place and she was in the bathtub, having taking a number of pills. But she was still moving! I thought, "Better angry than dead" and called 911. I got her to a hospital and saved her life!! I stayed the next day to take care of dog and just take the day off.
    They took her in the middle of the night to mental facility and charged her for the ambulance ride (don't get me started on that!).
    When she got back, I stayed with her the next two weeks (luckily I already had vacation days planned for the holidays) and helped her get her life back on track. She was definitely angry with me for at least 6 months. Fast forward to today, while it has been a struggle and there have been some moments, for the most part she has been able to cope with all the pressures and she says she is motivated to do better!! And she never wants to go down that road again. :-)
    She recently changed her diet to an all plant-based foods and she has gotten her mind back! She now no longer has those thoughts! I am so happy she is still here. :-)
    To all those who feel hopeless... things can get better! Reach out and never let go...

      thank you so much for that comment. Im often thinking about suicide (not crying for your help, just a fact) and its getting more serious. Somehow the youtube algorithm often gets me to this vid when its too bad.
      Reading your comment makes me think of my best friend. Like if she had written it one year in the future adressing me. I feel like i am Ryan and you are my best friend.
      Thus there are two main aspects your comment strongly reminds me of. First of all I dont want to hurt her. And I dont want her to contemplate suicide nor get any kind of depressions because i love her way more than myself and i know how bad it is. Especially not because of anything i did. I dont want to make her live with such a burden.
      Second thought is that she probably loves me even more than she told me. People are weird when it comes to that. They wouldnt tell you too much about their feelings but when youre gone they wish they would have. That goes for each and everyone of us and its a shame because it causes even more pain on so many different levels.
      Ive often thought about both of these aspects before and Im convinced that this is why i didnt do it yet. However your comment went directly into my heart and made me cry within split seconds, thinking of her writing such a comment after i killed myself.
      Do whatever helps you to cope with it and whatever helps you to carry on. Everybody has to find his/her own way to cope with the sadness. There are many cheesy phrases like that Ryan would have wanted you to live on. Or that Ryan will live on in your memory. But remember theyre true.
      Anyways thank you very much again for your letter. I feel like i will come back to it quite often when i feel too down again. Maybe you just saved some lifes!

      @@dakelong6047 I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. In my little seaside town in the North East of England there's been an epidemic of young, seemingly happy young lads who have taken their own lives. Two brothers did it within weeks of each other then their other brother tried it too but he lived. There's been too many to count and they all used the same method, hanging. It seems to be the go to method for men. I've been completely blind sided by some of them, people I've known my whole life since starting first school. I think it's because men don't feel like they can talk about mental health issues, they feel ashamed when they shouldn't. Things are getting better in that respect but it took a load of deaths for things to change. That's just suicides, the amount of overdose deaths is even more staggering, for a small town I bet there's easily been over 500 since the early 90s. My cousin was one of the first in 93, 18 young people died in one year when heroin became a big problem here. Then the numbers just keep increasing as more people die each year. I'm not exaggerating when I say its pretty much every other week I'll hear of another death of someone I know. You didn't fail Mike, well I doubt you did, you might feel like you did but if you could have saved him you would have by the sounds of it so don't beat yourself up about it ♥️
