1-800-SUICIDE
(a suicide prevention hotline)
Hopeline is now trying to break away from intrusive government regulations. The short video below is basically an info-mercial but it does get out the information about Hopeline and that is OK with me.
I have several friends who are currently suicidal (you know who you are.) I have known several friends who have died by suicide. I have been suicidal and so have others in my circle of family and friends. My position is that a person's life is theirs to live and theirs to take but that that ultimate decision is best made as a choice with many other options clearly in place. The option to receive compassionate care (without police intervention) should be available to everyone.

thanks, V, for this post. . .it was a bit bizarre to see it yesterday evening, just a few hours after I found out that a woman from my singing circle committed suicide last week. I know she was a troubled soul, but thought things were going better for her. I agree that we all have a right to decide about our own lives. . .and I wish that she had more help/options along the way. Hugs to you for all that you do to live your own life well and fully and to support others.
