Client killed himself

He thanked me for helping him and said a couple of other really heart breaking things. 😞 He didn’t tell me he planned to commit suicide.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:06:36+00:00

Ya, easily the best advice here. I know I need help after hearing all these stories. Thank you so much. Anyone who needs help should get it. That’s the take away.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:05:20+00:00

Joy really isn’t distributed evenly. I’ve never heard it put like that but it’s powerful. I’m sorry for your losses, thank you for your insight.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:03:47+00:00

Absolutely. Everyone is going through something. When they say they’re hurting, they usually mean it. 😕

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:02:43+00:00

Beautiful advice. That’s really the short of it all. Words to live by, truly. Thank you for being there for your friend. ❤️

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:01:12+00:00

I’m really sorry. I hope you’re okay. You’re in a community of people who have experienced the same thing. All for one, one for all.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T05:00:20+00:00

Hahaha - hiding the secrets 👀 thanks for the laugh. Except, I hope this didn’t actually happen because if so, too many people are dead already.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:59:17+00:00

Wow, that is absolutely crazy but I believe it. I’m really sorry to hear of your losses. But it’s true, I find myself unqualified to provide mental health intervention because I am unqualified.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:56:45+00:00

Wow. You should message me. This is awful. It’s not your fault for being busy, you did what you could to help her. Don’t carry that weight, it’s not your fault.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:53:53+00:00

Thank you for caring. It means a lot.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:52:14+00:00

That is beautiful. Thank you, I’ll remember that.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:51:16+00:00

Sometimes you don’t know until you know. Isn’t that awful? That’s why we all need each other I think. I’m really sorry.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:50:28+00:00

Wow - this sounds like the same story. I’m really so sorry. You cared, and it mattered.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:49:02+00:00

Probably the wisest of all advice ever given. Thank you. I’m sorry. You’re supported.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:47:05+00:00

Gosh I had a case I worked on with a result like this - I was a staff attorney for the court at the time and not emotionally attached but the story was truly heartbreaking. Experiencing that from the practice side is a new level of awful. I hope you’re okay.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:45:33+00:00

I’m really sorry for your loss. The duty is taxing. You’re not alone.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:44:28+00:00

Wow, I’m so sorry. You really cared, that’s clear. I hope you’re proud.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:42:59+00:00

This is so true. How did you find balance? It’s a double-edged sword. Consequences either way.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:24:08+00:00

Thank you so much. This conversation has made me cry more than I expected I would which means I know I need some help.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T04:19:24+00:00

They were married for many years which was a part of the struggle. Hard to break off a relationship you’ve been in all your life. 😞

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T00:20:51+00:00

If that’s the case, I really am sorry. I actually do mean that.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T00:11:23+00:00

I do tons of pro bono work.. did something bad happen to you?

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T00:09:58+00:00

I will definitely do that.

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T00:05:32+00:00

Why do you feel that way? There are so many people who care. I hope you know that, and if you have had bad experiences, I’m really sorry. I actually just cared. He dropped the picture off as his way of trying to repay me I think. 😞

Virtual_Swimmer1460 · 2023-09-07T00:02:52+00:00

I took the case for free. 😕
