I'm still in lurking mode [a periodic occurance for me], but I feel compelled to mention that although I'm finding this conversation intellectually interesting, for me, the intellectual considerations of death, and suicide, and reincarnaton, are far less important than the other sharing that has occurred in this thread.

For the record I want to state that I recognize that it might hurt some to consider this topic and it might be painful to revisit some of the experiences that have been recounted.

However, it is my hope that this discussion helps more than it hurts.

I also want to echo Bill D's wishes to all here: "Have good health and good cheer all thru the season...and the year to come!"
