Peace to the family only, as we must never celebrate someone, whom chooses to take his own life.

I'm not pointing fingers, just expressing MY point of view from being in what seemed a hopeless depressed state years ago. Prior to my "crash" from PTSD, I had hidden a lot (I fell into that macho thing "I'm a man, I'll get over it") and had retreated from those that loved me most. Don't know that I contemplated suicide, but my mental & emotional state was way out of kilter. I thank God for a wife who recognized what was happening & we got help & life is good again. Prior to that, I had little patience for people who I thought should "get over it" but didn't. I learned that there are times when you can't because you aren't thinking rationally. What I'm trying to say, and probably not very well, is that I look at troubled people through a different lens now, and this may sound preachy, I let God determine what that persons eternal route may be, He knows what is going on inside and that some are not equipped to make good choices. Remember, MY opinion. Thanks for the "vent"
Everyone thinks I'm strange except my friends deep inside the earth
No, the soul of the person who committed suicide needs more prayers.

that's an ignorant stance based on ages old dogma that ignores and belittles being a human being.
Those that take their own lives need peace and prayers as much as those still here.
There are never enough prayers of peace for the living AND departed who are good souls.
Mr. Palkovich seemed a good (if troubled) soul.

You made the point far more tactfully than I am capable of.
Thank you.
RIP Bobby Palkovich.

Thank you

until you've been close to that point.
Fifteen years ago, I was close, and it was scary. Despair and despondency are not fun.
:)
Hence the in-joke of naming my system that in Inmate Systems.
Clinical depression (my diagnosis, since my mid-teens) is as stealthy to the individual as it is silent to the outsiders. I've been to the edge a few times already. I have good days and bad as well. That is part of being. Music helps, Immensely!
It is more sobering to me when I hear about someone like Bobby and his situations. Sometimes people can see it and sometimes can't. Take Robin Williams for example. In all honesty, even I could see the warning signs based strictly on his manic comedy routines. Again, some can and some can't. We need more people who can!
I wish Bobby's family all the best in trying to come with this. They have more questions than answers now, I'm afraid...
Cheers,
