I am bumping this old thread up yet again because I thought I "knew" everything there was to know about suicide after losing Michael in Jan of 1990. I have a library of books on it, I have "counseled" neighbors, fellow church members, started and attended support groups...etc. How wrong I was!

This is a generation decision. Unless you are willing to journey through the grieving process of losing a loved one to suicide, you will impact your own children, you will hand that horror down. Seeing this happen in my own family is a great sorrowful revelation to me and I seem to be helpless to intervene.

When someone refuses to discuss it, or read about it and claims that "works" for them, that is how they handle it than that is the end of the conversation.......except....what about my great grandchildren!!!
