My life altering night...

[Custom Coffin Works]

Recently my life long partner and wife of 20 years attempted to take her own life. Thankfully she was unsuccessful no doubt to my oldest sons fast acting help. This attempt came at a complete surprise to us all. We had been locking horns on a subject and would not budge. She tried to solve it by removing herself from the situation. Her actions only worsen the problems. I am writing this here to try and prevent someone else who might be in the same situation. Please, there is always a better way than death. I know we make light of it here on CCW but the fact of the matter is this, no one wins with attempted or successful suicide, period. If you or someone you know might be thinking about suicide please reach out for help. Call ether of these two numbers if you or someone you know is contemplating suicide. 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255). Time is something you do not have when faced with this situation. I have a second chance with her. Don't lose your chance.

I understand how you feel, there was a couple in are hearse club here, that his wife had cancer, he could not live with out her, they also had a little girl as well. there was nothing left the doctors could do for her, so the husband took the family hearse, attached the big hose from the back of the clothes dryer; put it on the muffler of the hearse ,started it ,then went back inside to lay down with the child and wife in his arms until they died here is a link to the newspaper reporting about it.....http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingn...y_of_thre.html

It's so sad, because I can see both sides.

Life is still worth living though.

Wow that sucks, but you have to admit that death by hearse is pretty ironic.

I also agree with Denise that it just worsens the problem talking to people. Talk to friends who won't freak or squeal, or maybe anonymous people online (although that can horribly backfire... best to stay FAR AWAY from ANONYMOUS people online, and the internet in general).

Morella, I usually just overlook most of the mindless, seemingly drug induced, utter bullshit that you usually post. But you are totally off base and just need to shut the fuck up. Please don't try to grandstand this post with some emotionally unstable rantings, it isn't necessary. There's a few of us here that think an emotional evaluation would do you some good.

[spastic_chicken]

I mean, afterall, not everything is about you.

At the risk of sounding shallow, the ones who truly want to kill themselves always succeed.

The ones who try half assed are needing help but going about it in a very selfish way.

I really have mixed feelings on the subject. I hate to see any family go through this though. My thoughts are with you.

[Scary Guy]

Well I wouldn't say they always succeed. Some do make an honest attempt and just fuck it up.

What's really fucked up is they make it a felony, and those that actually want to die for a good reason (like physical pain and suffering) suffer as well.

I has to go look at what everyone is talking about with her. I block her utter nonsense. I thank everyone for their support in this time. She is well but there is a long road ahead if us.

Update...they released her without even asking her why. State metal hospital for a day only! Waiting for a counselor visit on the 15th. She is back to her old self. What scares me is I never seen this coming so I don't know when to expect it again....

[spastic_chicken]

I don;t know when to expect it again....

Until she wants to improve herself and make a difference, you should expect it to happen at any time, sadly. Does she realize that this mindset is very selfish, and is harming the stablility of her children?

You can always count on us for support. I know that no 2 situations are alike, but there's a few of us that have been through similar situations.

She does see that...the problem is with me and my vises, not her and her unwillingness to improve herself. I pushed her into the corner she was (is) in. I am changing my ways to defuse the situation. But I am still scared she will attempt this again.
