((((((Di)))))),

I'm so sorry

I hate suicide. I believe you know my history -- been on both sides of suicide. Be 40 years this month since I lost my younger Brother.

It's taken me a lifetime to learn that the suicidal urge only lasts an instant. If we can get past that instant, we can survive. I wish -- I pray -- that we would teach as much about suicide as we do about wars and buying cars and mathematics and movies :SIGH:

I remember that feeling you're describing -- it's a feeling of absolute helplessness.

Di, you HAVE TO KNOW that that dear woman's life was better because you were in it. Don't blame yourself for anything. You gave of your soul and a lot of people don't.

I'll say a quiet prayer for her tonight. And for you, too, sugar. BIG HUGS. And love.
