"How To Talk About Suicide In A Way That’s Actually Helpful. Suicide isn’t just someone else’s problem, it’s everyone’s problem."

I thought this article referenced above important to post.  As we all grow older the vicissitudes of life and its hardship grow exponentially and some have suffered through it all of their lives.  For many it is difficult and for not a few it ends in suicide.  How does one cope and how does one relate to others who will not tolerate the intolerable and think of ending their suffering by suicide?  The Stephen Hawkings and Charles Krauthammers of the world who do and did suffer what for some would be unthinkable persevered through it all; who loved life so much instead of suicide decided to embrace the life they were given no matter what it delivered to them and, in the end, let nature take its course.  They have much to teach us.

I post Charles Krauthammer's last opinion, too, for the Washington Post Charles Krauthammer Pens Final Column 'Only a Few Weeks to live' “This is the final verdict. My fight is over,” the Washington Post columnist wrote. I post both of these articles hoping it will give inspiration to those who cannot tolerate much more of what life has to give and the other that says what we can do to provide or get help to save a life.

I think the article about suicide below states some profundity about this issue afflicting so many in our nation in our time.
