*Do you know that as a FACT? Have you ever asked them about this.
Keep in mind my father has schizophrenia, so for him to go around mumbling I want to die, has been understood by many to be a normal part of his illness or something. Yeah, I've talked to him. And somewhere along the line he's stopped talking about wanting to die. : ) (Makes me wonder about psychiatrists and how out of tune they are to people's emotions or thoughts. I guess they ask and we faithfully answer no out of fear that someone would do something that could be worse. The mystical unkown.) My mother's thinking is different. But she's raised two children out of three who have suffered severe depressive episodes. And she has come from a country where suicide is still fairly common. The two last deaths of family members were suicides, though they were "written up as accidents." Yes, we've talked about it in detail.When I say personally, I mean that they've done something wrong. In many ways I have been blessed. (Learning has been easy, empathy is basic, and good health (besides the cfs), friends, the list is endless.)

*Suicide creates and exacerbates pain for those who remain, but, Hey, for them, life *stops* as well never to be recovered or reclaimed.I don't agree with you here. Life in my eyes is like a river with lots of tributaries. If one of them dries up the river still survives. We're each our own river and everyone else is a tributary. To noone I know am I their only source, to some maybe a major one but with time that is replaced.

Along that line, my only dark cloud are those brief moments that gliding without wings looks tempting. I've had them for so long now, and except for the first time (the joy of youth) have no intention of acting on them.
