It's been one year today since a friend of ours (me and ex) killed himself. V was a great person, really the type that would help you if you needed it (and I know because we did on occasion). He was a gambler though and my ex and some friends had noticed it getting worse. They planned to talk with him and try to get him some help the next time they saw him but never got that chance.
Anyway, sorry for being a debbie downer, I just wanted to share. Boy, my therapist is going to get an earful this afternoon.
