dealing with death janee: I know this is unrelated, but I need to vent. A close friend's step-daughter committed suicide this week. I feel bad for the family. From talking to other people, as well as myself, we have gone through some trials and tribulations. But I believe we get through them. Just because I am going through tough times, does not mean I want to end my life. Apparently her life was too much for her. And she has been nowhere close to where I have been. Part of me is sad, but the other part of me is angry. I thought it was a selfish, cowardly thing to do.
Re:dealing with death galil: It is hard to figure out what goes through someones mind who ends up doing something like that.
As far as it being selfish, I am not sure that is the motive. I think some people get to a point where they feel they have run out of all options and that seems like the next logical step.
As wrong as it may be it is sad to see someone get to a point where they feel like that is the next best thing to do.
I know I have been to that point a couple of times and have actualy had it look like a good solution, but I was able to realize that there are more tools available to me to help me cope before that ever became a valid solution.
Everyone is different and not everyone knows how to call out for help. It is truly sad any way you look at it. :-\
