Most people who contemplate or attempt suicide really don’t
want to die. They simply can’t imagine another way to stop the unrelenting pain
of mental illness, guilt, shame, the loss of self or any combination of these.
WE often show little understanding for the social ills
around us that affect so many. For those hurting deeply, reaching out to others
can feel like walking a minefield, a minefield that stands in the way of help
and healing. The pain experienced by people in such circumstances wears down
hopefulness and saps life energy.
What perceived social ills or mental illnesses can seem so
distant that a society can’t find the compassion to offer help and acceptance.
