It is a huge thing for men in the 30/40's.
I can tell you the exact time and place that I found out my friend had taken his life, leaving a wife and two kids.
I still struggle with what he did, I can't even wrap my head around his kids.
I will say that a core group of my friends all got together after it and pledged to look after each other. There are dudes I don't see much, but I will text them every few months and they will do the same to me.
We decided to turn his death into something more than a tragedy.
So far it seems to be working. I'm much more vulnerable with that group of friends and they are with me.
GL, well done on this.
