I think suicide is the hardest type of death to deal with because it hurts everybody who cares about a person SO MUCH, and they always wonder if they had just said the right thing or done the right thing if they could have kept it from happening.
The truth about suicide is that person's pain (physical, mental, or emotional) overwhelms his or her love for everyone else. In that way, it is a selfish act, but a person reaches a point where the pain is no longer bearable and blocks out the LOVE that person feels for others. We need to put love for others as our priority. Take care of yourself and love yourself, too, but love others enough not to ever hurt them in this dastardly way.
Remember, "Suicide is a permanent answer for a temporary problem."
This, too, shall pass.
