Sympathy for his family? Yes, of course, a great deal. As I said, I have sat with these families and seen the desolation they experience.
Sympathy for him? Yes, because he was ill. Sympathy because he could not see the love and good life that was waiting for him all the time.
Angry at him? Yes, because we can see the result but, it may not have been his fault because he may not have realised what he was going to impose upon his family - for the rest of their lives. Only a few weeks ago, a friend of mine (now 34) was crying yet again at her father who took his own life when she was five years old.
So - what can we do?
We can look around us and consider who else may be vulnerable. We can write a letter/e-mail/postcard to a friend who is in difficulty. Invite them round for a meal. Better still, invite yourself around to their place. You might then notice some aspects of their life that have changed. You might see things that are out of place, literally or otherwise. This doesn't mean that you ask them if they are feeling suicidal but you keep your eyes and ears open.
We can also write to those that we THINK are OK, because they actually might not be!
