I agree with Dave. Knowing her situation does make a difference. Not that I don't care about her, but suicide is a very selfish act and, IMO, becomes even more so when one has children they should feel responsibility for/to. I will never forget riding the bus to school one morning when I was about 10 years old and wondering why my friend didn't come out and get on. I later found out, the previous day, her father had committed suicide. Has your friend thought of how it would effect her children, especially if one of them found her?

Keep talking, Em, we luvya...kat
