It's good that you put a trigger on this so sensitive people can avoid this thread. It's too bad suicide is such a taboo subject for some people. I think if there wasn't such shame and fear attached to it - then we talk more openly where it may end up saving lives. I believe veiling it in secrecy deters people from reaching out for help!!

I don't think everyone fantasizes about their own demise. I know I don't - I always boast about how I plan on living until at least 100+ yrs LOL. I lost a brother to suicide a year and a half ago. I think it's important for families who've lost loved ones to suicide - not to feel ashamed and sweep it under the carpet.
