I had a friend die recently after having been in a coma for over 2 months.

He didnt want to go out, but the type of skiing he was doing would seem suicidal to anyone not in this community.

The grief was super difficult to deal with because he was such an aces human being, but like you said his memorial was 10:1 laughter to tears.

Get back out and live as enthusiasticly as possible. Recognize when you're crushing it and doing something that would make ypur friend smile.

Thats how ive gotten back to business as usual

Meds and therapy for me. Friday I start my TMS treatments. Six weeks of magnetic fun. I'll try anything before I off myself.

I'm not sure if this works in your situation, but another route might be looking at what drove him to do it, go find others that are in similar situations, and try and help them. Again, not sure if that fits this situation, but helping others usually brings happiness.
