Francine. I understand that you meant well and loved your friend. I do think however it is too soon, much too soon, for anyone to publicly speculate on the reasons for why your friend chose to end his life (if indeed he did this, which hasn't been confirmed). He has not even been buried yet...when someone's body has not been interred/cremated/memorialized over yet it does seem kind of ghoulish to talk about them in this way, to imply what they could have or should have done.

I would also like to gently suggest that you consider this man's children...one day they will be older and would like to read good things about their dad, written by people who knew their dad. You can choose to write about the good things you valued in your friend, without all the other stuff. His wife, his kids, they know more than anyone that he could have chosen to do different (if indeed he did end his own life), they really are not served by this post which is condemning.

I have known two people who died by apparent suicide, one a young acquaintance and the other a close friend. In both cases suicide was later ruled out by autopsy. In both cases right away people posted all over the internet suicide as cause of death. I understand that you put 'apparently' but that is just like calling someone an 'alleged' rapist. This is not some newspaper story about someone you don't know. It's a personal blog post about someone you say was a close friend. Be kind, to your friend. Respect his memory and his family.

and many hugs to you, for your grief.
