What are some songs, things, and events that describe suicide or the aftermath ?

This post was not started for entertainment but more for suicide awareness. All these songs have commonalities like sadness, darkness, a sense of loss, and desire to throw in the towel. I was there at one point, broken by PTSD and unable to see how to get fixed. If you feel like this, I whole heartedly recommend asking for help instead of throwing in the towel. There exist people who can truly help you. They will pick you up, dust you off, and send you forth into life. So don't quit, keep your head up, and ask for help.

A few years have passed for falling so far down I could not get up with help. I knew my military psychologist so there were a couple times I called to state, "Doc I feel like 5% of a human today." He replied for me to drive in and went to residential a few hours later. I am fine now, however, I still empathize about that lonely soldier who fights the fight of his/her life every night. The lonely and dark nights.

I think this song is apropos to describe how a loved one feels after a suicide, and the eternal sadness they face for the rest of their lives.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I don't believe there is a song, a poem, etc that can describe what suicide does to the families left behind.

If any of you are thinking of suicide, please go in for help. Help is available to help you heal from the pain. It worked for me once I identified I had to survive to see better days ahead.

CPT Joseph K Murdock, the song "Suicide is Painless" from the movie MASH (and later the TV series M*A*S*H) is notable in some respects. Ironically, the lyrics were penned in 1969 by Michael Altman (son of MASH movie director, Robert), who was fifteen years old at the time, and naturally, had never seen time in the service, much less combat.

At our son's funeral the minister described a bird that had gotten out of its cage and was sucked up in a vacuum cleaner. He said that was how the family felt. He wasn't wrong by much.

I am going to add this song about addiction as suicide and addiction are often common to each other.

Lyrics

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They're crawling like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride,
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for three whole months,
It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
Is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself,
You were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
That I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart, I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
For every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy,
I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes crying,
And I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling,
"make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back
And shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered,
"How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
For you
For you
For you
