We have all seen the results of suicide in those left behind

When someone loses hope, the consequences for them and their friends and family can be disastrous.

How could they have found hope? Who could have reached out to them? Why didn’t I do enough? In retrospect, these are the questions those left behind continue to ask themselves.

It comes down to the dignity of human life. Each life being precious, and made in the “image of God”, according to the opening chapter in the Bible.

Also, the question has to be asked, “Will the trouble and depression really be over?”. What happens after we die? What if there really is life after death? What if the claim of the Bible proves true that we will all face judgement after we die?

So, as you can see from the votes opposite, I disagree with the majority!

What are your thoughts?

It’s extremely sad…

Mental illness, whether called Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, or whatever, or just plain deep sadness through recent unhappy circumstances, anything that leads to a lack of hope in life, and then suicide is so sad.

The loss of a precious life. Not by an accident, or quirk of nature, but by the choice of the one who is no longer with us.

Those left, of course, have their own pain, regrets and sadness to deal with.
