Jack,
The saddest thing (other than grieving family members and
friends) is the botched suicide. Being caught in a half life
and half death seems to be worse than either alive or totally
gone... It is TRULY and HONESTLY much better to try to
get help in dealing with emotions (there really is NOTHING
wrong with getting help from a psychologist or psychiatrist.)
In severe physical cases (except the most extreme), there can
be end-of-life pain management.
All of us has had difficult emotional times in our lives,
and I have had friends who have also died from most
heinous physical maladies (e.g. brain cancer.) There
are good modes of treatment for ALMOST the most extreme
problems. (Brain cancer can be difficult to treat at the
end, but my friend who died of brain cancer could function
and enjoy himself at a limited level until the last week
or two.)
Deciding to 'end it all' in difficult emotional situations
is one of the most wasteful AND SOMETIMES SELFISH things to
do. Instead of 'ending
it all' for emotional reasons, it would be much better dedicate
the sad life towards helping children or needy people. Truly
helping other people who are needy (perhaps in other ways)
might even work towards helping more than just the recipients
of the dedicated work.
Truly, I suggest that the situation be re-considered!!! Times
can seem to be very tough (and sometimes they really are
hard to deal with), but there are good alternatives.

Well put, John.
But he ain't listening anymore.
If he was for real, then we blew our chance.
