I have known two men who have ended it. I think I understand part of what drove them there. One had been in korea, and in some bad stuff as I have been told. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, treatments were not going well.....so one morning he locked himself in his bedroom and ended it wit a 12 gauge shotgun. That was my grandpas neighbor. I never really thought he was "right", but didn't expect that. He was on the Cincinnati reds farm team for a few years.
The other was a local farmer a few years ago, he had struggled with depression for several years pretty bad. He and his wife over the years had something like 8 miscarriges, before adopting two girls. That had a effect on his wife, and eventually (in my opinion) her state took effect on him. Looking back, he had several "accidents" in the years before that maybe were not so accident. He was found hanging in one of his barns. Very Very sad funeral, he was a GREAT man, friendly as can be. Very kind hearted. So so sad.
I always wonder what made the "day" they actually end it so much worse than the others they actually do it....or is it a mental state, built up that finally something small brakes the camels back and that is all they can take? Guess we may never know.
