"Giving up and losing the fight are not the same thing. It's a tragedy all the way around."

I agree with that. The problem is that some people treat it more like a crime than a tragedy. Th person didn't wake up and say, "I am feeling evil today, I think I'll kill myself." No, they spent a long time, years usually, going through the pain that their condition caused them, and finally they just lost the power to fight anymore. Thanks for phrasing it that way. It really helped to explain a lot of the things I was trying to say.
