I'll never get it. Things are never that bad. Always looks different in the morning, or later. I could not do that to my family. Crappy way to go. I want to stick around, if for no other reason than to see how this crazy life plays out!

Bad day at the Beau Rivage? I know Gary, the Coroner down there.....I used to work with him on the Ambulances back in the day.

It is difficult to understand why anyone would resort to suicide. Unfortunately, many do not have good coping skills, skills that have to be taught just like walking and feeding oneself. However, in my opinion, it ranks at the top of selfish acts. A person options out, and those that care about them are left with the fallout of the act. The damage it does to those left behind is sometimes unrepairable.


I won't ever forget my first client that commited suicide. He was a 19 year old kid, who had his whole life in front of him. A life full of potential that he never got to fulfill.

You are SO right. I have a friend who's daughter committed suicide about two years ago. He's completely changed, probably forever.
