As usual, a solution for one is unacceptable for others. My closest contact with suicide was painful and, so far, unending. My oldest son chose this at age 20 as a permanent solution for temporary problems--and left shock and devastation behind him. Grief includes anger. Grief takes its own time. The one making the choice--who knows? But those of us puzzling it out are changed by it forever. Only now, nearly 4 years later, do I feel like laughing out loud when I can. Or being in situations with many people. Or moving on.
As much as I hurt to know that my son felt so much despair, I know the feeling. When I've considered suicide for myself, I refuse to put my loved ones through what I've been through--or maybe it's an excuse because I don't have the courage. When the grief is overwhelming it's impossible to understand any reason to give up on life, but if logic can be applied sometimes it can be? I think so, but... Can we judge a choice made by others even when it's not fatal? I don't think so--at least not from their point of view. Still, it's so hard to accept and go on. I don't believe that all the good done is wiped out by a single act, but it may be too soon to see through the grief. I'm thankful for Mail Art over the years that has distracted me from my sporatic downward spirals--art in my mailbox meant just for me? Hard to believe it gets much better than that. ex posto facto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
