May God take care of Scott's family, and may He welcome him home to the peace he deserves.
I didn't know him very well, but having cared for and lost two people here who are dear to me, one through suicide, well, this still hits hard.
Sometimes I wish the pain could be visited on those who caused these things in us one hundredfold. But they wouldn't care. They wouldn't understand.
I also wish, something I have to remind myself when the self-destructive thoughts hit me, that when someone comes close to doing this, no matter how much it may hurt at the time, that they know it will pass. Pain always passes. Death is forever. And even when you try to make it clear to your loved ones that they weren't the reasons you took the way out, they will ALWAYS blame themselves. They will always feel that hurt. That's something I will try NEVER to leave those who love me as a last memory.
I hope people learn from this sort of thing.
God, Scott, I'm sorry, my brother. I'm praying for you and your family. I know you've found your peace.
Peace and love,
Scot
