Six reasons to go on living

mood: pensive
"It is estimated that each suicide victim leaves behind an average of six close survivors who may be left confused, guilt-ridden, and traumatized by the suicidal act." (Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology by Ronald J. Comer, p. 223)

I have six reasons to go on living: Jennan, Rowen, Ian, Shelley, Wendy, Ellie.

I'd be distressed, deeply, to lose you, too. Dunno if that counts; maybe a half a one. :)

Distressed and confused, perhaps. Probably not guilt-ridden or traumatized. I appreciate the thought, dear.

Probably traumatized. I've had a few friends take their lives, over the years. It's never, ever easy. Don't underestimate your impact on your friends' lives. :)

I guess I tend to do that. I usually assume that I don't matter to other people.

I've done that. It's common enough. I'm glad you were able to hear me. :)

Just six?
*shakes head and reads quote again*
confused, guilt-ridden, and traumatized
So...direct damage as opposed to indirect, or trickle down, damnation. Nice.

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry, ma'am. It was thoughtless of me.

*raises eyebrow*
Granted that I was far beyond the veil of tired and making little sense but...huh?
Meh.
