Post by LeishaPost by Will DockeryPost by whyzardPost by Jim (Guitar Centre Records)People who kill themselves do so because they are ill,
They are sick of looking at fucking life.
And they tire of walking down the streets that are dead.
Eloquent.
It hurts other people too much to kill oneself. It harms them,
especially children, who never recover when a parent commits suicide.
It's selfish and cowardly. Take yourself into the next life because you
can't be who you want to be in this one? Who can? Change. Change, grow,
live, learn. Choose life.
Suicide is not romantic. Suicide is raw and ugly. Goodbye, Hunter.

Yeah, the one actual suicide I was intimately connected to, the 1986
death of my brother-in-law Tracy Harley, haunts his family to this
day... in fact, my ex-wife Katherine grieved for her brother up until
her own death, last year.
There's more, though. Suicide sometimes has a contageous effect...
Tracy's father also went out this way when Tracy and his sisters were
small children.
My option? Considered the Jim Morrison route a few times: fake the
death, get the Hell out of Dodge, and take a shot at being reborn, with
principle significant others in on the joke, of course.
Exile in some faraway land is always a neat trick, if it can be pulled
off. In Hunter's case, though, sickness and a loss of his former Mojo
was just too much to bear, I feel.
