Thread: opting out

there is no turning back short of intervention. It's why no suicide threat should be ignored. sadly - they thought they had intervened. She had tried pills last Wednesday and was hospitalized in the psych ward of their local hospital. She somehow (and how, I do not know) managed to complete her task sometime between Friday Night & Saturday morning. they thought she would be OK there, or at least protected. peace & :-/ t

I think suicide defies logic. People are in terrible pain and they think suicide is the only way out. The pain is so great they don't think about family members.

I don't know what to say to you , t, so i'm really not any help on what to say to your friend's family. I am really glad, though, that you have an empathetic mindset for both sides about this and aren't all blame-the-deceased-for-being-selfish like so many people in this world are.

Wow, this month has really been rough; my friend's mother passed away today. I am very sorry for your loss and hope your friend is able to help his daughters and himself. Perhaps a copy of the book you mentioned on St. B's thread would help; he probably isn't explaining it was a suicide so a book gently explaining death would likely be welcome. Minxie

I can say with surety that they are the only reason I haven't done this myself at different times. Me, too. I'm so sorry for your friend's family. Ishtar
