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.

If you show me all the things I have, you have worked with me and done everything you could think of and I still jump off the Empire State Building.... was it because of you and what you didn't do, or was it me?
As a counselor, you have to realize not everyone can be saved and there are a few that you will lose, irregardless of how much time, effort and caring you put into helping them.
You cannot take out that one sentence and use it without using the previous and next sentences with it for the meaning I presented.
All I'm saying is if someone who wants to take their life so bad that they do, I will not judge them. I am not going to damn them, speak badly about them, etc. It isn't in the job description part of my life's contract with God.
Miracles do happen, lives do get better, but some people no matter how hard someone tries to help, they can never see or believe a better life can be had.
