I end this month's focus on suicide with what we can do. Remember, "Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain." (David L. Conroy, Out of the Nightmare: Recovery from Depression and Suicidal Pain)
So the way out of the nightmare is laid before us: reduce pain and increase resources. Somewhere below is something you can do for yourself, for those you love and for those whom you have been commanded to love, if you believe in that sort of thing. These lists are from Conroy, pp. 300-302. My remarks are in brackets.
