By “give up” , H.D., I dont mean give up life. I mean give up trying to reach some impossible goal. I don’t know you, so I dont know exactly what constitutes your despair. In the end of course it is a deeply personal choice.

May I ask what truly constitutes your suffering? What it is that causes you to want to give up life?

I can understand that your wife becomes upset when you talk to her about giving up, but could you talk to us here at all about it? The roots of it?

I’ll share with you that my husband had such thoughts when he was recovering from heart surgery and thought he would never again get well enough to go outside. (((((Many hugs))))).
