Mike,
No matter how much a person helps someone else or tries to be there for that person, it is up to the person with the issues to say they need helpand get help.
I had found my uncle when he ended his life and I was so mad. Mad he would do such a thing, mad he didn't try to help himself, mad I could'nt have been there for him, and mad because of all the others he had hurt in the process.
It is natural for you to feel this way. I went to counceling for this after his death. My counceler says the feeling you have are natural feelings.
I'm not an expert in this field. I do however know you will have mixed feelings. And you will wonder if you did all you could have done. You will be angry with him if he goes through with it and you will feel like he took some of you away. That would be the trust.
Your friend needs help, and that is up to him and his doctors on how the issues will be handled.
Hope this helps some..
Netta
