I keep looking for stuff on the web about suicide as I’m thinking a lot about it nowadays. I have to keep reminding myself of all my good reasons for going on living. One of them — and it’s not insignificant — is the thought of what it would do to my family, my friends and particularly my wife, K. Here‘s a good article by a woman whose husband ended his own life. You can read lots of heart-wrenching testimonies by survivors of sucide here on a forum for people who have lost loved ones. Scroll down to the “Communities” section and take your pick. Everyone is a real case of how a single person’s action can cause a hurt that never heals. I almost felt like I had a prurient voyeristic motive for reading these but it’s very good to remind you that suicide does not end the pain, it increases it.
