No return Home

How can one commit suicide? A dear and forever friend of my husband took his Life in a tragic way. How desperate can one be? Why is Life so difficult for certain people and easier for others? Why Why Why???So many unknown answers. I have been asked do you thing it's coward or brave ? Though i don't think the question is relevant, i think is both. It takes courage to take an irreversible decision, there's no way back, no second thoughts on the other hand how about those who care, who are left behind? with an overwhelming sense of guilt,despair, loss.
What keep us here when everything that matters are in a chaos?
 When we loose everything? 
When there seems to be no issue, no way out?
 When HOPE drifts away?
How deep can a man drown ?
but most of all.......               WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE?
It was forty years of friendship......a LIFETIME 
May his soul rest in peace.
Poem from Khalil Gibran "the prophet":
And a youth said,Speak to us of Friendship.
And he answered,saying:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay".
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words,in friendship,all thoughts,all desires, all expectations are born and shares, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit..........
May his soul rest in peace.
