Suicide

SUICIDE I witnessed suicidal attempt of my older cousin sister on issue of lost love. Taking sleeping pills, immediately she realised the blunder, as she was Mom of two little kids and called Doctor herself. Meanwhile me and my brother, trying to keep her awake. She was saved and promised not to take such drastic step, But to face problems, not to escape. Another suicide already committed came to me as a news. She was only thirty-seven, graceful, beauty-queen Successful careerist winning International fame as Dancer. Her Mom was my immediate neighbour No consolation I could give to poor Mom. How could she do this, setting extreme despondent example to her followers. I could not give the news to my daughter then studying abroad Because SHE was her idol. Later my daughter got the shocking news from Internet and was totally shattered. Suicide is not a solution but miserable to all. 09/17/17 Suicide Prevention Month Contest by Laura Loo
