Suicide isn’t selfish or cowardly because it’s actually the result of an illness. It’s a mental illness and sufferers of it can be so badly affected that they think it’s what they really want and that they actually chose it but really their mind is so badly ill and fractured they’ve lost control of themselves to the mental illness. That’s not who they are-that’s the illness talking.

These people can be saved but not with a us vs them mentality. Getting angry and shaming them does nothing positive. It’s just a sign you’re terrified and don’t know how to deal with it. You want to save them? Stop being scared and start being a rock in their life they can lean on. Don’t just say if you need anything let me know. Be there. Actually try to stay near them. Move in if you have to or take them in.
