Tim, I don't know the circumstances or situation, except what you have posted below, so correct me if I'm wrong, but are you saying this woman has been threatening to commit suicide for 15 years? If that's the case, then she obviously WANTS to live to some degree, otherwise she would have cashed her chips in a long time ago.-

That's rather Zen also. The truth is out there. That's a X-File term. I have a friend who is has been very resistant to letting me or anyone or herself try to end her death wish and painful way of being. But I'm gong to be very insistent in till she decides to try and save her life or tells me to get lost. The soft sell for 15 years has not worked. I all ready mailed her one hell of a letter. It got a thank you but has not worked magic yet. Tim
