Awful web to be tangled in. A great mentor of mine once told me suicide is a permanent solution to an often temporary problem. He was so right.
The problem is it doesn’t seem temporary to the person involved. It is simply the result of more pain than the person can cope with...
My father, a Marine tunnel rat in the Vietnam War who i revere so much talked to me about this; ONCE.
“You go to a foreign sh!thole, fight for your life and your friends. You see horrible things that scar you. You make it home in one piece.”
“I’ll never understand how you could kill yourself after making out alive out of that hell.”
What do you say to that?
