Earlier this week, one of our clients took his own life.
The circumstances as to WHY...we don't know. Im sure it's private details. Or is it even known? What happened to make him feel so much despair that he couldn't possibly go on? Was it business related? Did is mess something up? Family related? Whatever the reason...i feel for him and his family.
A few coworkers of mine ...happy go lucky people I must add.... have been in utter shock and just cannot fathom WHY someone would do this. Life is too short, how dare he? Yada, yada, yada.
Yet, I see the despair. I HAVE BEEN THERE. I know the uttermost pain he must have felt...though I obviously never took that final step. It is rib crushing, mind numbing...like a wild animal ripping apart your chest while a 100lb anvil sits ontop of your head. Emotions tear you apart, yet you cant figure out how to make that feeling GO AWAY. I can imagine the pain just becoming blinding and not even realizing WHAT you are doing ...then the light goes out...and you're surrounded by the final silence.
He was a father... to teens I believe. To lose your Dad in an accident is unimaginable...but to know he did it purposely I'm sure is even 100x harder on a teen's emotions. I purchased my 2 most recent vehicles from his family's dealership right here in town. Their Mom answered the phones & greeted people at the front desk...Dad...him and his brother ran the place & did sales, etc.... he voiced a lot of their commercials. One of those good ol family dealerships. What a tragedy.
Regardless...I feel for him. For whatever he did that made his world turn upside down....I hope whatever happened can be resolved and no one else was hurt...... Im sorry you felt this was the ONLY way left to fix things.
He is being laid to rest today. May he rest in peace...and his family heal over time. So sorry.
