This weekend one of my coworkers committed suicide. Around this time last year we also had a coworker commit suicide. We are a very small company so everyone knows these folks very well.
On this occasion the man did not come to work and three of his friends went to his house and found him. One was a very sensitive ISTJ woman I work with.
Their pain of course endlessly echos around inside of me, combined with guilt at what I could have done. Perhaps just being his friend, saying hi, letting him know he was not alone?
Why do people feel so alone that they feel suicide is the only choice?
What can you do to help them, what signs can you watch for?
What can a company do to help prevent this in the future with respect to HR initiatives?
