I must tell you that you have no clue what the people who choose to
suicide have to endure. Yes, it would be good to save anyone and
everyone from suicide. But hardships is so not even close to the pain.
The pain they are in is beyond what you can ever imagine. I think many
don't actually want to die - they want to stop the pain. The idea that
the people who have made this choice and followed thru are weak is
crazy. They are brave. Tell me - could you stand up on a building and
jump off? Could you take a gun and pull the trigger and blow your head
off? Could you set yourself on fire with the purpose to die and end
the pain? If you think about it - it really isn't the easy way out.
They are desperate and in more pain than anything you can imagine.
Many of them have suffered with this pain for years and years. I
really don't think you should talk about things you know nothing
about. I am guessing by what you wrote you are trying to discourage
suicide. Do you really believe that if someone read what you wrote
that was considering suicide that this would help or make them feel
further alone and push them more into the final act? We have children
as young as 8 years old that suicide. Suicide is an epidemic and it
can happen even in your family. Do you know in the United States
someone takes their own life every 12 minutes? Do you have clue what
the global numbers are? Do you even care? If truly it was important to
you to help prevent suicide there are things that need to happen.
Education for many to know that there is help out there and that
things can get better for some. Our Professionals in the mental health
care - do you know how many are turned away that beg for help? Do you
know that even with insurance and asking for help how many of these so
called professionals don't really listen and just give out more pills?
Even when told month after month - year after year that the patient is
feeling worse - they just say keep taking the same pills. What about
all our military hero's that have gone and fought for our freedom -
whether or not we agree with the war - they come home and their is no
help for them. Our own government does not help them. Yes they can get
on a list and if in crisis - the list maybe a year away. Some just
aren't even told that they can even get on a list. Those that do get
help - it doesn't help. Much more research needs to be done.

My oldest son - my heart and soul, died by taking his life. A part of
me died when he died. As much as I don't want him to be gone and want
him with me again. I do understand what he believed at that time when
he made his decision and his pain was beyond what even my pain is with
grieving him for the rest of my life. Trust me my pain is horrible - I
want my son back. Yes I do know he is with God, so before you even
start the hell issue because I am betting that will be your words. My
son is now at peace and with God and I will be with him again when my
time on this Earth is up. If you have children, I pray you never
truly understand how much pain I and all parents feel when a child
dies. I know that his hell was actually here on Earth and his pain was
unbearable. He felt that dying was his only solution to end that pain.
So many believe that.

I resent the way you speak about this issue. You have no knowledge,
understanding or even compassion. Do you really believe a weak person
could pull that trigger or jump off that building or whatever else
they did to die? No they were desperate and they were brave. Most
certainly not weak. Do you really think that anyone has ever killed
themselves because of some hardships in life? Please get educated on
this subject before you speak about such things. You are doing more
harm than any good. I don't think that is your intention.
