That's cos there's actually stuff to do up here

I'm off to a funeral tomorrow.
37 yo mum of 5, ranging in age from 18 down to 8, committed suicide on Saturday.
I don't know how she did it and I don't much care.
It is all too sad!

Like bin, have cops pull you over, get stuck in traffic, have your bike pushed over (or pinched) and dodge red-light runners..

For example cancer? It could possibly be the cancer which kills him in the end, or he kills himself if things get too bad, either way its going to happen.
.

Two things people don't talk about cancer and suicide.
As for cancer,when your told you have it,a nurse said to me 2 things happen,how bad, and how do I kill myself,she said if you forget the second part your on the way to recovery.

I was lucky,I said fuck this shit what do I do to beat it,I was 40(41 in hospital),never even entered my head to end it AT ALL.To me that was being a loser,shit the docs were doing their best to get me free.Yep there was and are times I get annoyed,like when my mum and daughter were in hospital with cancer,being inherited,it pissed me off passing it to my daughter,even mum said same thing about giving it to me,gotta love genes.If I hadn't seen my doctor and died then my girl wouldn't know she had my gene,and can pass it on,she would have been in deep shit by the time she was 21 or so.

A mate I know had his nephew die,at funeral he said he didn't feel sorry for the boy,just his family,he stated he hated his nephew for what he had done to those he loved,some were annoyed most, felt the same way,even his parents admitted that.

People talk about cancer a lot. Kiwi Biker is no exception to that.

I dont think I know anyone who has, but if I do I've long forgotten who they were. Certainly no one I knew well I mean.

I had cancer at the age of 18 and believe me it fooks your head up royally and the affect it had on my father was even worse. I was lucky and have gone on to gain my qualifications, travel the world etc etc and I love my life.

I lost my gramps, his sister and my dad (at 52) to cancer and I wouldn't wish watching the most important man in your life dying on my worst enemy. God there were times when the booze, drugs and men didn't help stop the pain but at the end of the day I am my father's daughter and I am a fighter and I chose to live life like my dad would have wanted, fast, furious and to the full!

The best advice my dad gave me was not regret anything as you don't lie on your death bed saying you wish you had spent more time at work! This is why I try and do wahat ever I can, such as getting to NZ and hooning round on bikes. I tend not to listen to people who do not matter but will do anything for those who do and I try to get by day by day.

You have choices to make in life and they are not always easy, but I would never judge anyone for choosing to kill themselves I know what it is like to be at that point in life when the only way of taking control of it is to end it. I am not condoning it before anyone tries to say that I am. I am just saying never judge a man til you have walked a mile in his shoes and if you can be a should to cry on or an ear to listen please take the time to do so. You might make a huge difference in someone life.

Well, that's what I've tried to do with my son.
The problem is, when someone's in the pit of despair, they find it very hard to believe there's even a remote chance of things getting better, so it's a very hard job.

And you can talk 'til the cows come home and will not get through. Only the person going thru that can do it.

To me no subject is taboo. My closest friend suicided nearly 3 years ago and I supported her. I did not judge her at all - I knew where she was at - I also knew no matter how hard she worked "to get Better" she would still be struggling to exist. No quality of life in that.

She had tried several times - I offered to be with her and just hold her in my arms - I knew she would be successful at it one day. She was alone and frankly I am glad that she is now at peace.

People who say it is a selfish act have absolutely no idea of the pain etc that the suicidal person is going thru - until you have walked in their shoes - been where they have been - never judge. They shouldn't take their life cos you care for them? Well the world does not revolve around you - or me. None of us can control another person's thoughts or actions - and frankly I personally have no desire to (manipulate and control people). My friend sought all the help she could get - and we talked a lot, she knew I understood and been there so I was not talking thru a hole in my head.

Life can be a living hell for many people - be very grateful that you are not one of them. I hated seeing my friend suffer on a daily basis and getting worse. And she was one very strong woman. I miss her but I am really happy for her that she is now at peace.

Been to several in my time and some very nasty ones indeed.

Managed to stop one guy killing himself by gassing himself to death once.

One death in particular I won't forget in a hurry was more because of the family he hurt and left behind. He hung himself in the bush, a place he loved to walk.

The hard bit was dealing with the obviously devastated family and finding out he had done it because he couldn't handle the fact his wife had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and it tipped him over the edge.

He left her behind.

I thought for a moment i knew this person, but he hung himself and devastated his family because he had got in big trouble with some very bad people who wanted to kill him, and he was at the same time wanted by New Scotland Yard for numerous offenses. He returned from England, visited all his family and spent quality time with them. Once he had done that he simply went into the bush at Orewa and hung himself. PRICK!

The guy I cut down from a tree was found in bush in northwest Wellington.

Common theme though... mindset aside, what they did was utterly selfish and hurtful to thweir families.
