hey there, i haven’t been around here for some time, read brightfeather’s post about what’s been going with you… i myself have thought about suicide before – who hasn’t ever at some point of their life? – but i’d never do it on the basis that i’m too scared of the pain and the unknown of what happens after death. i think death should come not because you want it to, but because it wants to… then it would be a life well-lived.

one can tell that i don’t really know what to say here… but with friends like brightfeather, i hope you realise that there are indeed people who care about you and want you to be happy and healthy.

Hello again,
I’m dropping in to let you know that I have published the post that I refer to above http://thistimethisspace.com/2008/03/28/straight-talk-an-open-letter/

P.S. I must be out most of the day as I have more eye appointments. I will not arrive home until late this afternoon.

When you first wrote about suicide I was loathe to say a word. I knew that your symptoms were indicative of depression. I was so upset that you were self medicating with beer that I did not know what to say to you. Understand that I was not silent because I did not care, I was silent because I’m not a professional counselor and I was afraid that if I shouted at you “Wake up — you are in a state of denial, ” that I would make things worse for you.

I hope you don’t mind but the rest of this comment became so lengthy that it’s really a blog post. I’m taking it out of this comment box and re-writing it offline. I will post it later today and until then I hope you will accept a big cyber {{HUG}}from me.

Namaste (Meaning: I salute the divine light within both thee and me in that time and space within us, wherein we are one.)
