Abysmal darkness..

[no closure] For my beloved sister Lee, Robin, all those lost by their own hand & those left behind. Suicide takes more than one life in the process...

There is no closure in this flight

blighted madness ensues,

frustration of one's own destruction,

   multiplied by the somberness

      of those left behind,

          adds up to sempiternal loss 

either passageway seized,

leads to the grips

               of 

                   abysmal 

                               darkness

Sigh, this is a tough one for me to review love, not because I don't want to...you know I do...but how do I respond to something for which no words can do justice? You didn't fool around with this one...it's short, it makes its point, and it concludes most ominously...was this by design? If not, you'd have a hard time convincing me that it wasn't a subconscious act...I'm speechless my dear friend...I've already shared a lot of sentiments with you in the last week or so that I never shared in all the time I've known you...I'll never feel the full extent of the pain you must carry with you constantly, but I've known you long enough to hurt when I know you're hurting...there is little left for me to do but offer you my love and hugs in perpetuity...I've said it many times and have revealed it to many of our friends here, but you are the strongest person I've ever met, and if there's any solace to be taken from this whole thing, it's the fact that you've inspired an awful lot of people with the way you handle yourself, and somehow manage to be an inspiration to so many of us...you definitely know that you have a place in my heart and always will...I only wish I could take some of this pain off of your shoulders...

You'll notice I've steered clear of philosophizing this in any way, and you know why...it's not my territory to tread upon, nor do I want to tread upon it...I'd just prefer to offer you my comfort and as much of my understanding as I can muster...you have a way with words, everybody knows that, and a way of touching people's hearts with a minimum of words...you will do the same with these ones...xo

Thanks dear friend, it's never far from my mind, but there are those times, it's overwhelming when it just hits you like a thunderbolt from nowhere...they are usually the hardest to navigate. Your kind words always lift my spirit. x

I understand, and I'm glad when I can lift your spirits anytime love, even for a few moments...x

I know that the sentiment is not conducive to what I am about to say but I find this simply stunning.
Not the kind of stunning that we need to be shallow about but contemplative. Enduring difficult experiences is never easy. Frankly when Frieda says that there will no be no closure it sends me wild as my temparament is rules by the feeling of closure. Yet something that is alive is alaways evolving , becoming, striving, and for as long as it must. If there is something to be shared here by shring it with me you have made me become closer to you.

You are brave Frieda.

Thankyou

You are very kind to say Rene, there is no closure in suicide, too many unanswered questions and guilt associated, I've always said that it kills more than one being, I'm glad you found my words so affecting, I'm hoping they reach a desperate soul before it's too late....thanks so much.
