Sorry to hear of your friend's death.
I myself have contemplated suicide when things were really bad. 
Sometimes people feel that there's no end to the misery they endure,
whether it be the loss of a loved one or the hardships that life throws 
at them.
  My reason to continue is because I have a sister that I love very much
and that things would eventually get better. I have learned of the
self-preservation that is so necessary to continue living.
 
It helps to talk about your problems, no matter what they are. I've done
it before, and it has always made me feel better, and sometimes has 
given me a new perspective of the problem at hand.
 
I do, however, believe in euthanasia when there is no chance for 
recovery. (a whole separate subject for further debate if you wish)
SEE YA!
