Gone
Last night I found out that a good friend and an employee has committed suicide. He was well liked by everyone who worked with him and had several friends at the Centre so it has been really, really hard on all of us today. I found out last night and was the one to break the news to most of the staff and management today which has made this into one long emotional day.

crap. i'm so sorry jordon.
i just wanted to say, that the biggest blocks to my grieving in the past was the word "shouldn't". if i can encourage you at all feel whatever you need to feel today. this kind of things doesn't make any sense at all.
confusion is normal.
Praying for you folks.
Thank you for sharing your shock, disbelief, and pain. As the previous comment stated, we need to learn to feel whatever we feel. Such posts as yours help to give a collective permission to do so.
Good thoughts to you all.
Sorry to hear this, Jordon. I'll be praying.
Seems to be a bad week for this.
Grrrr.
So sorry for your loss... praying for you all.
You shoulnd't feel that all is lost Jordon. Our eternal destinies are decided in this life,
yes. Yet none of us can know with absolute certainty what your friend believed or didn't believe before he took his life.
As a Roman Catholic, I believe in the existence of purgatory, the intermediate state for those who have died in God's grace but were not perfectly sanctified. I know not what your friend ultimately believed. Yet I pray for the repose of his soul all the same.
praying with you and for you
