An old friend of mine is a suicide survivor. She tried swallowing a punch of pills but she winded up waking up. She's pretty ungrateful about the whole thing, and she would always push away her family or friends (including me) whenever they were try to help her with anything or we'd try to give her a better outlook. She's scared to die old, she doesn't want to be married, have kids, none of that. Not even interested in her own future.
She doesn't seem suicidal anymore but she's the most bitter person I know, suicide survival doesn't seem to have the same effect on everyone as it did for you unfortunately. But I did share some happy memories with that person and to others who I've known that have passed away. I've been suicidal before at one point (a very low point in my life), thinking there was no point in living but my family and friends changed that for me. These days, I couldn't think twice about killing myself cause I'd think a lot of people would be sad about my death (not trying to sound conceited here). I couldn't bare making so many people sad so I do what I can to be happy so the people around me won't worry for me anymore. Plus, to see what happens next in life always wills me to live on. It's refreshing to hear that your experience has changed you for the better. Hopefully life keeps progressing in your favor
