    I saw my dad lose his best friend to suicide in my teens. I’ve struggled with suicidal ideation since before even that. I’m not close to my dad, I have lots of issues with the man, but I can never put him through that again, no matter what.

      I’ve lost several people to suicide. The hardest was a good friend I’d known for years and who had been my roommate one summer.

      That one was 25 years ago and it still hurts.
