I attempted suicide once when I was 13 years old. I was abused by my mother. I thought I had no way out.
I was a kid, and I reached out....couldn’t find anyone who would help.
Thank God in Heaven....He saved me.
What is Williams excuse? He could have reached out. Paid for help. He was a capable adult with the means to change.
He chose to kill himself.
I make no excuse for my attempt. Even though I was a kid, I was wrong.
If I can’t excuse my behavior at 13...I certainly will not excuse Williams’ suicide.
“Thank God in Heaven....He saved me.”
Thank you for brightening my day. May God continue to bless you in the life that you spared - your own.

My daughter is a paramedic. She and her driver went on a 911 call where a young teenager had hung himself in the bathroom. My daughter performed CPR on him all the way to the hospital, but he never made it - the ER doctor declared him dead. She lost it in the ER (she has a son the same age), and the nurses all comforted her. Her partner told my daughter she did her very best - they just didn’t get to him soon enough. It was a bitter lesson for a young EMT to learn.
Point is, suicide doesn’t just affect family members, it can also affect the emergency responders.
