People who take their own lives are lost in a mental illness. To say otherwise is ignorance. Suicide leaves those behind with devastation, guilt, and shame.
If you have not personally experience the devastation it’s probably best if the responses aren’t so smug
There is no smugness about stating a fact, a reality.
The best definition I recall of suicide is: "the sincerest form of self criticism."
I have no idea who first stated it.
Preach it! This article is incredibly insensitive. I actually checked the author's credentials I though he might be a Doctor of Veterinary Science.
