He had a loving family and friends, and all the resources possible but still could not continue living.
What does this say to the rest of us who are trying to cope one day at a time?

Thank you @hopek. I have updated the title of this discussion so others who are looking for this type of information can find it.

It is hard to hear about people who see no other way to stop their suffering than to choose to end it. You ask "What does this say to the rest of us who are trying to cope one day at a time?"

I think it can say different things to different people. I think you might appreciate some of the incredible insights shared by @jimhd and others in this discussion:

What helps you cope one day at a time?
