My condolences to you in your time of grief. I know exactly what you're going through...one of my close friends hung herself close to two years back (Nov 23 is the date). It was so tragic, especially since she had been improving. We knew she had been suicidal before, but then she seemed to get better and stuff. And then her family moved and her family forbade her to see any of her friends...and treated her like trash. I still think about it all the time.
I agree with you that warning signs should not be taken lightly. If there are any possible signs of depression or suicidal tendencies, it must be brought to the attention of an adult immediately. And if you can, try to be nice to the person, make them feel wanted and appreciated...I know from personal experience (I suffer from depression) that a simple act of kindness can mean a great deal...and can even mean the difference between life and death.
