Start with a thesis, or a statement of purpose: I am going to try to reconstruct who he was, because I’m not sure anymore.

Suicide destroys memory.

It undercuts one of our most romantic, and most comforting, notions: that we don’t really die when we die, because we live on in the memories of those who love us.

When you kill yourself, you’re killing every memory everyone has of you. You’re taking yourself away permanently and removing all traces that you were ever here in the first place, wiping away every fingerprint you ever left on anything.

You’re saying, “I’m gone, and you can’t even be sure who it is that’s gone, because you never knew me.”
