Ouch.

But, still, not really a fuck up. Most people will/would be concerned, although fear of not knowing what to say might make them avoid the topic.

Either way, talk to somebody about how you are feeling.

I'm going to be visiting somebody in the hospital today or tomorrow. Former neighbour.

Everything about the situation is brutal. Dude is 96, his wife died just before Christmas (she was in a nursing home with dementia). He and his daughter ended up homeless in October.

His daughter died last week. And he's in the hospital and not coming out. And, losing his daughter made him suicidal, so, psych ward. And, the rest of his family is in Greece.

My friend and I figured out where he is, and his last name - she went to see him yesterday, and we'll like both see him in the next day or so.

I've been suicidal before, and I have zero idea what to say to him, lol.

Anyway -can't leave him alone with all this.
