Question

I want to know if you think that people who have commited suicide could have mended their lives instead?
I always wonder quotwhat if she hadnt done that, would she have found the courage or luck or strength to get past what ever was making herhim so sad, and would she have been able to live a live that she would have considered tolerable and normal?quot What you you think? Is talking people out of doing away with themselves enough to get them motivated enough to fix whats broken, or are they better off?

Answer

I think the majority of suicides are tragic overreactions to shortterm situations, but this is not always the case. If you draw a distinction between euthanasia and suicide which many dont it becomes even more complicated. What about someone with a chronic illness and a lot of pain? Should they always suffer interminably waiting for a cure that never comes? Would their loved ones really want them to, or would they if they really understood prefer to let them have peace and remember the good times? What if the pain is mental, as in severe and chronic depression that does not respond to medication or psychotherapy? What then if the pain is just as intense and severe, but transitory. After all depression is a mental disorder, so can a person really be judged for making a bad choice in an impaired state? The best thing is to love and forgive those we lose to suicide...brreligious people Im sure your Gods would do so after all shestheyre perfect. br...and try as hard as possible to save those we havent yet lost, and try to remember difficult when youre depressed that where theres life theres hope. brTo put it another way its possible to talk them out of it if you do but its not possible if you dont.brEither way theyre doing as well as is possible in the situation. brWe all draw from each other, so even if theres no religion, theyre not truly gone as long as you remember them particularly the good times. Sorry went on a bit there... Very important question.
