Dear Sir
Please be careful with that paintbrush. My husband completed suicide almost two years ago. You have just called the man I spent 40 years with a coward. I wonder how many others saw your callous comment, but were too ashamed to let you know how angry you’ve made them.
I am not ashamed. So step out back with me, kind sir, and I will kick your ass.
Oh, and if you’re of a religious bent, yeah, I’ve got you covered there too. “Judge not, lest you be judged.”
It’s ON!
You obviously don't believe that, because if you did, you wouldn't be judging him.
Did your husband think of what would emotions and feelings you would have before he completed suicide?
my sincere condolences...
Sorry, he was a coward. It really doesn't matter what drove him to it. He chose the easy way out and left behind, people who relied on HIM, to fend for themselves.
The only reason I would accept if he was in extreme pain and terminally ill. I could understand that. But, you did not give any details.
“coward” likely is not a proper word to use. Neither is “easy”.
All choices have a spiritual component (for good/life/hope or for destruction/evil/hopeless).
Some folks in some specific moments of situations go weak under the influence of hopeless thoughts and do choose to take their own life. I have a close relative who was just over 20yrs old and did just that.
I don’t consider him a coward or making an easy choice. He claimed to believe in God, yet in that moment as evil invaded his thoughts (which I cannot imagine what thoughts grew in his heart and mind) he chose to go weak, hopeless.
I got your back
Some people can be so hateful and hurtful in their judgements of others, when then haven't been there themselves.
I laud your attitude towards those who would disparage you and your deceased husband. Bless you.
So sorry for the loss of your husband. Just said a prayer for you and your family.
Prayers for your husband and you.
May peace be with him now, and whatever drive him to harm himself please know he is protected now.
You have just called the man I spent 40 years with a coward.
I have four friends that have had husbands and children commit suicide and my own daughter attempted it. I’m not without understanding of the concept.
And I am sincerely sorry for your loss.
Oh, and if you’re of a religious bent, yeah, I’ve got you covered there too. “Judge not, lest you be judged.”
This is where I get into trouble on subjects that are emotional for many people. I use a single case to make an academic point. And I should have not said “cowardly”. That is not the word. I realized it after I posted, but I can’t seem to find an “edit post” feature. I’ll keep looking.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
