I know what it's like to lose someone close to me to suicide, I lost a dear friend, her name was Jean, she was the wife of my Dad's best friend John(He died in 1968 in a car crash). We believe she suffered for years after his death from deep depression, possibly manic depression. Both of my parents were still alive at that time, but it seemed like I had lost a mom when she died. She left no note, she just put a gun to her temple and...!   I think suicides do it because they see NO OTHER WAY OUT...If you or someone you know is thinking of suicide, Just remember it's a perminant solution to a temporary problem, there is ALWAYS a better solution: 1-800-suicide (784-2433) they will help you find it!
