I FEEL YOUR PAIN sweet Sara...so sorry you feel this way. Sometimes I feel the survivors of suicide feel more pain than the actual victim...just my feeling...congratulations on your placement :)-luloo

Andrea, As far as I know the quote is mine but it could be from internalizing so many things from scripture, religious literature, and other people's work..I guess since you two haven't ever heard it before I could post it as my original quote..I did not copy it directly from anywhere..Sara

Sara, I've been thinking about forgiveness a lot recently. It truly is the best way to heal wounds. Is the quote yours? How profound! The poem is both moving and compelling. Very nice.

Those who want to take their own life have often been badly hurt by life. Feel suicide their only escape. Sad!!! Best let God be the judge. Peace Love and Joy

Suicide is always misunderstood. Most people who commit suicide don't think of others because they don't feel like anyone will miss them. They are alone in life even when surrounded by family and friends. It;s hard to forgive what we don't understand. Great write on a very sad subject, Mrs Sara.
