A good friend of mine decided to end his life yesterday, and I thought comments here would be relevent.

The phrase "a permanent solution to a temporary problem" comes to mind; there's nothing one can go through that can't be made manageable through help from others and a moment or two of thinking about how it can be worked out. Suicide isn't a solution, it's the start of a whole new set of problems for the people you leave behind.

In view of the fact that our lives can be terribly challenging, and that some here, as in all other walks of life experience periods of instability and doubt, I'd like to urge anyone who'd consider such an alternative to at least give your friends and family a chance to help.
