If there was a "like" feature here, I'd like this comment so much.
I HATE the "suicide is selfish" bullshit. Certainly I'm sympathetic to the people who are made saddened by someone's suicide but I've found that over and over and over again the people who say "suicide is selfish" are NEVER the people who've had to live with debilitating pain.
I am so sorry that Bill lived with such pain and I am so sorry that he saw no other way out of it but I respect his choice to do what was right for him.
All those years I lived with suicidal feelings I KNEW that there were people who "cared" but "caring" means fuck all when you're the one living with the pain. CONCERN IS NOT A CURE.
