Can’t argue with that. I’m heading off on vacation in a bit and no one wants to read about suicide before a Holiday but I’ll amplify this early next week, for sure.
Great research, writing and reconsidering here, Owen, as always! Can those be the new “3 Rs”? That being said, and in reference to your data herein, how many completed suicides does the average American survive in their life? With all this data about number of “known associates”, considerations of the act, etc, does the average American survive from cradle to grave only knowing one poor soul to die by suicide, two such folk, more?
Completely agree on all of your points, that being said, I’m in my mid-40s, and I am cognizant of 3 professional colleagues having died by suicide in the 25 years I’ve been working. One was a mentor of mine, one an ex-colleague and the most recent, a close report. I hope I am the anomaly here and that others don’t have similar experiences
It is very difficult to get counseling in a timely basis. There just aren't enough resources to meet the demand
I deserved that. Thank you sir, may I have another
