Dear Barbo

if you are taltking as a recipient of suicidal talk from a friend/or loved one.........it is very difficult to hear...........OR .....even understsand or comprehehend [beccause as a friend/loved one you have a vested interest in their life]..............

because of the TABOO of suicide,,,listeners of such thoughts get more support and consideration from medical practiioners [in general ] After all the listener wants to preserve life........................

Barbo ........................hearing words like this...is .......similar to hearing someones confession,,,,,its bigger than YOU...DONT ACCEPT IT....suggest in kindness that a Clergy man, or Doctor is mor suitable to hear a persons plea for help...or cry of depersation..................if you have the strength....take them by the hand..........to the EARS WHO[listen&] CAN HELP...but wont feel EMOTIONALY ATTACHED .......

you are a wonderfull person Barbo.and what you are doing is difficult but.....so right.

David
