I agree 100%. It’s not anyone else’s responsibility to “save” someone from suicide. Whenever possible, you should absolutely try to help them and do what you can to prevent them from taking their life if that is an option, but suicide is ultimately the choice of the person taking their life, not anyone else’s.Diana Lowery wrote: ↑13 Jul 2023, 14:26 I think that it is important for people who have been affected by another's suicide to be reassured that it was not their fault. Living with the feeling of guilt for what someone else did is unhealthy. I think the author addressed this issue wisely in her book.

I can imagine that would be difficult to go through after already having a difficult situation. I am glad you survived. It’s helpful to hear from people like you so those who have not been through it can know how to make survivors as comfortable as possible in an uncomfortable situation.Inked_Rebel_Reads wrote: ↑17 Jul 2023, 10:48 I think it's part of human nature to ask "why" and be curious. I am a survivor myself and I felt comfortable telling a select few people, but only on my terms. If I wasn't ready to talk and open up then I simply wouldn't;t until I felt comfortable. I also loved when people respected my privacy and didn't make me feel like I had to explain.

Goodness, I'm so glad you survived. Yes, I agree that let them feel they are comfortable sharing it.Inked_Rebel_Reads wrote: ↑17 Jul 2023, 10:48 I think it's part of human nature to ask "why" and be curious.
