Did they take the easy way out? Don't know, don't care.

THIS statement is what worries me that you are a counselor. Suicide should NEVER be an answer. I am not exactly the model Christian here, but in the eyes of God if you ARE Christian, suicide is a VERY quick ticket to Hell. That is the final sin that a person can commit that is considered unforgivable in the eyes of God. I have been in some SERIOUS situations, as others have said, that suicide would have been the easy way out. but my faith had me hold on, and now I am in a place in life that I am VERY happy with my family and the way things are generally headed. I keep picturing where I was when I was at my lowest....Single dad, two daughters, no job, no money, lost my home, lost my car... I was at the point where I had considered that my life was over....It was so easy to think to end it. but I held on...and met my current Wife Crystal....now I have a loving home, a good job, 2 cars, a new home, and we are working on having a new child of our own. My son has joined the Army, and my oldest daughter is slated to go to Annapolis Naval Academy! I can't even IMAGINE that I thought about something like that so many years ago....
Sorry, but I just can't see the need in suicide, assisted or not. One must ALWAYS have faith. Miracles DO happen....they happen every day when a new child is born...a couple gets married...a parent watches their child go to college, or get a job for the first time...and the best miracle of all? looking at your child and seeing that smile that just makes EVERY problem in the world melt away, even if just for two seconds. Life is too precious.
