Suicide is a word that scares most people. Mostly it just can not be fathomed. Why would anyone, especially a person of faith want to take their own life? ........ The answer to that question is as unique as each person that considers suicide. Absent physical contributors such as tumors or sudden chemical or hormonal imbalances, the road leading to thoughts of suicide is often long and lonely. Consideration of suicide is frequently progressive and cumulative in response to life's events/conditions. It is something those fortunate enough not to have known this thinking must struggle to understand just as those who have experienced it, but from a different perspective. |
