Suicide is painless??/
Thu, April 3, 2008 - 7:05 PMThe effects on those left behind probably far outweigh the pain that the suiciding person feels. No one can be sure, but it seems logical.
Though if I had enough life insurance to pay off the mortgage, it would merit consideration.

You are not the first in my acquaintance to consider these things recently. I know it sounds appealing, but I generally recommend against it, it's messy.

Suicide is never an answer. Even when you believe you are doing something good or noble, it is devastating to the people you leave behind.

Having thought of this many times myself...it's not the answer...I hope this is not something you are considering seriously. Hug

Oh sweetheart...i'm sorry you're in a place where you're writing this. I do know what it is to be there. That being said....I also believe it is one of the most truly selfish things one could do because of the damage it ALWAYS leaves behind. It causes incredible pain to those who have to survive and leaves too many questions and hurts.
Please know that you are loved. That you are worried about and that you are too valuable to end your life. Huge hugs, T |

You are correct in thinking....
"The effects on those left behind probably far outweigh the pain that the suiciding person feels".
One CAN BE SURE that this is not only logical, but true.....all you have to do is know anyone who has a suicide experience in their life. Sadly, I know of 5 unrelated experiences with the suicide of a family member......there were three fathers, a mother, and a teen who all chose to take their lives. I would never wish the experience their friends and family had to endure in the aftermath on anyone. It has been my experience that there is no merit in suicide. |

For your consideration. I do understand what you feel. I do know first hand the struggle with this demon. I am not the only one in my family who has had to deal with it. It was the end of my Aunt Drucilla, who many times actually attempted was intervened upon, only to one day succeed. It left a history, a wake, a sadness within our family...the skeleton in our closet. My family has had to deal with her legacy for two generations now.
She suffered from depression. I do as well. I have come too close to this choice now and again, and I fight it. My ending my own life will end my own troubles sure, but I will leave a horrible history for the rest of my family and my friends. So I made a choice a few years back to take back my life. Yes, I still battle with depression, anxiety, etc. But I'm here. It will change from day to day. Therapy was necessary for me, hospitalization was necessary for me, rebuilding my self was necessary for me. But I'm here. I love being here. Regarding you....You have touched my life. There is a place in my memory and my heart where you lent me your hand one night. You helped me when I was in a difficult place, you went out of your way . You stood up for me.....I hope you remember what instance this was. I will always remember your kindness and strength. Please stay, you may do this for another someday, they will be as fortunate as I was to know you. Thank you for being here. You make a difference. |
