in reply to @lookatthesky's post:
one of our two partners routinely experiences suicidal ideation and we've had some long and frank talks together about the value of trying to stay alive vs. simply giving up; I have a certain perspective based partly on having a sibling who did commit suicide, she's got her own perspective informed by her fragile health in a society that's learned to abandon all but the flimsiest pretence of support to those suffering from disabilities and lifelong illness. it's been difficult work, getting to the point where we can talk frankly together about the subject of suicide. American society is generally so terrified of honest talk about suffering and death that one must learn from scratch how to confront these things without flailing panic (or smarmy talk of God's will.) ~Chara
