It’s definitively a topic of interest and great importance. <br /><br />But I do doubt it can be done without the raw emotions. Stirring them up isn’t always a bad thing, but I can certainly understand feeling apprehensive.Scothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350801865113852319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22877324.post-15838018535446080202006-10-07T12:02:00.000-05:002006-10-07T12:02:00.000-05:00I would be interested to know your opinion on the ...I would be interested to know your opinion on the spiritual aspects of suicide.<br /><br />I don't think it would be too much.Tolkien Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816447362432499481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22877324.post-85456138248749328742006-10-07T09:51:00.000-05:002006-10-07T09:51:00.000-05:00This is a very interesting topic, but now I'm relu...This is a very interesting topic, but now I'm reluctant to discuss it much because I don't want to stir up anybody's painful feelings about suicides in their history. <br /><br />I do feel a responsibility to people who read this blog, even though I try not to. I don't want to write something that will have a harmful effect on anyone. But I think this is a real issue that we can all benefit from discussing.<br /><br />For those who have raw feelings about suicide, I recommend considering the value you might find in discussing it with a counselor. And I warn against reading anything further on the topic on the blogs or in the comments until it has been addressed in appropriate individual ways.<br /><br />I <i>would</i> like to discuss it more if that would not be offensive. This post has been pretty clinical, yes, but how about another post on the spiritual aspects of suicide?

I also walked into his room when he was crying that he just wanted to be finished. In the back of my mind I knew it was coming. and even though I miss him, i'm so glad he doesn't have to go through that pain anymore. <br /><br />maybe this won't make sense to anyone else but me. but I feel like I know what they went through--to some extent.AttemptingthePathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691803785432956575noreply@blogger.com
