I just talked to him a few days before and he seemed fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then I get the call from his sister my mom. (Trying to get info right but everything blends together.) It was actually the wife but she didn't tell me. She just said I needed to call my mom.

Shot himself. His sister is absolutely broken right now. She should have never been the one to find him. The rest of his family is complete usless trash. They just want to cremate him because it's the cheapest option. That sent his sister into full mental breakdown. She wants a burial but can't afford it. I'm trying to come up with something but right now I'm lucky I was even able to get my company to dispatch me home to help her. She told me, "You have know idea how much love he had for you." and that broke me.

I grew up with this guy. We've been friends since we were 12. Played basketball together. Video games. Arrested together for being idiots. You name it.

I just can't wrap my mind around why he fucking did it. I'm gonna miss that faggot.

Sorry for the jumbled mess. I'm still kinda out of it.

My condolences to you and his sister. That's one of life's shockers when someone you know does that and gives no hints or signs of something being different or that this path would be taken. I do hope that you and family won't ruminate about it and second guess yourselves.

Re cremation, can she put his cremated remains at a mausoleum space for cremated remains at the cemetery? That would give her a place to put flowers and a peaceful setting if the cremation with urn in the house or scattering is what is causing her to reject cremation. It might be less expensive than a full casket burial and perhaps acceptable?

Not a bad idea. Just hard to discuss ideas with her right now, understandably. I wish his family weren't such pieces of shit because, again, she shouldn't have to make these kinds of decisions right now. I'm trying my best to hold her hand but I'm not very close with the family I can't stand his fucking family. Just my buddy and his sister.

I can somewhat relate. My family is complete trash as well. It's hard to deal with a loss and useless parasites at the same time.
