No one should take it upon themself to judge another. Especially someone who may have only needed someone to simply understand. Powerful Anaya!

I posted a photo on flickr of an old man who jumped from the 21st floor to end his pain? He landed feet-first, his legs broke off at the knees penetrating his belly fat which exploded everywhere. Suicide is not an answer! Aloha!

Aloha! Life is precious and there is so much to do in it! It's not easy to try to understand those who are suffering, you and I are such free spirits we can just walk away. But there are those who can't. Another Sad Truth! Thank you for your visit Rico! ;)

Potent and powerful dear Anaya. There is no way to know what lies in the heart and mind of one contemplating suicide. Many years ago my best friend from childhood took her life .We all miss her. Thanks for this write. Blessings, Susan :)

Suicide is strongly linked to depression. However, it is important to note that there is rarely one single cause. Susan, I am so sorry about your friend, I'm sure you did all you could. Thanks for the visit! Warmest regards, Anaya

Thank you, Victor. It is the 2nd step of what to do in a high-risk case of suicide. We need to have empathy!

Thank you, Unseeking Seeker for your kind words! Unfortunately, people do not know about the 5 steps you should take immediately, at the risk of self-harm.
