Thank you. The ideal would have been if she'd preferred life over the option of death, but since she couldn't manage to make that happen, I am glad she got where she wanted to go.

My hope is that society will eventually see that it's more beneficial to accept this fact of life and allow suicidal people to go in less secrecy, perhaps gathering with loved ones and exiting in a peaceful way. None of the suicides I have known have been able to do that, except for a lovers' pact.

My God, how many suicides have you known of??? I'm a Catholic and suicide is a MORTAL sin...only God can call you home on his terms.

I feel very VERY bad for people who cannot go to Jesus for help in time of immense need and immense gratitude. I take it your loved one was not religious.....we Catholics believe that Offering up your suffering to Jesus allows one to embrace the suffering, knowing that when you die you will be in heaven with no more pain.

Please, please, in the future when you see someone in pain and distress to get on their hands and knees and ask God for help with it.
