This is for the stress suffered by body, for the spirit it’s an opened wound. I think that we do not have right to take decisions for another human being, but we do have the right to remind about our love, about these who will be left crippled with pain for the rest of their lives.Silaadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247006163860528093.post-1888267716884986292012-09-10T09:20:42.970-05:002012-09-10T09:20:42.970-05:00No doubt it does take courage.

However, however, I do not believe that taking your own life is an isolated incident. Almost everything we do is connected. Autonomy aside, we are connected. Even the people that have no quality of life and those that need end of life assistance are not alone. They do suffer the ailments themselves, but their pain reverberates around to others that care for them. That is what suicide does, it reverberates all over. It is not an isolated event.

WHY?<br />Suicide is the ultimate expression of a person's autonomy: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/world-suicide-prevention-day-on-10-september/ That courage should be applauded.

It hurt me to know this, but its a reality. He was smart enough to check himself into hospital as in his case it goes hand in hand with drug abuse and a mental illness. All I can do now is listen, be supportive, be available and send him to the avenues that can help him.

Suz's brother. They are such caring people. We share food with our boy. This year we went to visit him and take him a couple of turtles. My Mom used to give us turtles. I haven't gone out yet and bought shoes for a stranger but will do that this month when I have a few bucks. <br />Ojibwe Confessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434882024674242926noreply@blogger.com
