Billy Hurley's father found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wound

Sad news for sure...especially after he had been found and seemingly the worst was over.

I've struggled with mental health issues most of my life, and recently have gotten to the point at times where suicide seemed like a viable solution, then I go and read about the process, and how it affects the survivors, and I snap out of it. There are no guarantees that suicide means the end of pain. The process itself can be extremely painful, even moreso if the attempt is unsuccessful. Then one has to live with the negative consequences the rest of their lives.

Yes, it's very sad. Very sad.

This really hits home with me for a couple of different reasons. When I first read about this, I chose not to respond to this thread. However, I think the right thing for me to do, is send out my Prayers and thoughts to the Hurley family.
