There is so much pain and suffering from trauma, mental and physical pain, and illnesses, like cancer for example. Doctors can give you pain killers, just to get addicted to them soon enough. Many people have survived cancer, more now than ever before. Holistic healing is the major reason.
Yes, at one time, chemo-therapy cancer treatment, was thought to be the only way to go. The cure was worse than the disease. Chemotherapy cancer treatment, “is a curative intent. It is aimed to prolong life or reduce symptoms (Wikipedia)
Many people have taken their life, because of cancer. I believe it’s the hardest news to get, next to my son or my daughter’s death. As I have seen, it’s a miserable experience getting all the chemotherapy treatments.
There are so many suicides, every day according to the internet, there is an average of 132 suicides per day, or every 12 minutes just right here in this country. It is so sad that these people did not get help. Especially if they left children, spouses, or really anyone who loved them.
They probably felt like they had no choice. This next statement may sound cruel to you, but sometimes that’s a choice that a person has to make. Unfortunately, there is no choice to end this pain and suffering.
It takes a very brave person.
My dearest loving sister had cancer. Maria Elena was her name. To me, she was the bravest person I have ever met. Maria Elena suffered from cancer for 18 years. I remember seeing her very sick and in a lot of pain when she took Chemo. (under her doctor’s care, of course.)
Unfortunately, my sister did not believe in holistic healing. When she did try to go to a healing institution, it was too expensive and they told her cancer was too far advanced, her insurance would not cover her cost.
My sister was very religious, she felt that God was punishing her for having bad thoughts about her husband. She wanted to leave him at one time. Then, she spoke to the stupidest person in the whole world about it. He said, “there you go that’s why”. Her father.
What we feel at the core of our soul and belief, sometimes does not help. It is as if (and I have heard this before) the universe heard you and It said, “your wish is my command”. What you feel and wish, by putting some strong emotion to back it up, comes to be.
I believe that a suicide mission depends a lot on what the person can bear and if they can let someone know that cares, they can get help. But if that person has no one, feels alone, depressed, and has extreme pain, they will commit suicide. Do we have control over anyone like that and can help? That is the only way to stop the suicidal person.
If they have a detailed plan on how they will kill themselves and start giving away things that were precious to them. They are saying “goodbye”
Some of the following are some signs of suicidal ideations;
- Drastic changes in mood or other notable behavior.
- Aggressiveness or irritability.
- Threaten to kill themselves.
- A loved one feels hopeless and cannot imagine the future.

- Giving things away.
- They feel like life is not worth living.
- Frequently talking about death.
- That person is feeling like a burden to their loved ones or others.
- The negative view of self.

It is a tragic reaction to a stressful life situation. Please “reach out” to someone, don’t let it go that far.
Is there something special we can say other than “I love you”, “I will miss you”. I am so sorry, my readers. I don’t know what other encouraging words there are to stop someone from taking their life. “I will miss you” has worked for me.
I feel love for you, we want you to feel love for your life, love for those who love you and will miss you. But most and first of all, love for yourself.
May God Bless and give you strength.
