I'm going to say it: I'm with niner to a point.
Suicide is awful for those left behind, but for the person involved, it's not a "right" or "wrong" situation. It's always the solution that they chose. Whether we say it's okay or not, it's what they chose. Their misery or suffering was theirs, completely and totally. Who are we to say it was the right or wrong choice because we think so. I truly believe that when you're immersed in those feelings it seems as if there is no alternative, then that is where you are and no one else can truly empathize. It's not wrong, it's not right... it just is. And we have to deal with our own feelings about it. So, trying to decide when it's acceptable and when it's not is kind of a moot point. In my opinion.
