bagatelle

Thanks for sharing this, GG. Here comes the part, where I think the society has some responsiblity looking over their members. There are people, who could recover with help. Sometimes the signs are there, and we should not think, we are allowed to let our close ones give up on their lives that easy. We have to interfere, those who have the capacity.

I'm sure there are many cases, when death can be considered a relief. Great physical pain, mental condition, when these problems are permanent and harmful for yourself and others around you. It's understandable, but still it's a loss with additional feelings of guilt.

I know very little about the topic personally, I don't know anyone close, who committed a suicide. Heard a few stories of people, I knew distantly. I'm trying to speak for those, who can be helped.

There was a young boy, who was drunken driving and his girlfriend died in the crash, he caused. He was injured badly himself and when he was able enough to move, even though being carefully looked after, he had managed to try to kill himself, but didn't succeed. In his condition, it was not surprising he would try it, but it wouldn't have been right for anyone to let him go through with his attempts.

It is not easy to take your own life. You might fail terribly and end up living with more problems than you would have had.
