That's awful. Suicide is such a tragedy on so many levels. I can't imagine the dark depths your mind must sink to in order to go through with such a thing. Not to mention what it does to your friends and family. Just terrible.

I've always contended that suicide is a selfish act, but I guess that's easy for someone to say who has never been mentally driven to the brink like that.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Novacek family.

Totally correct! It is the easy way out and everyone else is left with your mess to clean up.

My uncle committed suicide and I saw his four daughters and wife just crumble. He destroyed 6 lives with that one selfish act.

Interesting film to watch about suicide.

well it depends how far the net is from the water,what if they land in the net then jump from the net?

[Warpath]

certainly awful. I do not know suicide first hand but I do know depression.

To change the subject slightly has anyone seen the movie the bridge? I remember seeing a documentary about it or something to that nature maybe on 20/20 or dateline last year. I have not seen the movie but reading the responses reminded me about this movie and I will be watching it soon through netflix. Just curious if any of you have seen it?

One guy in the doc The Bridge said as soon as he left the bridge he wanted to live more then anything in the world, he survived the fall. Which makes me think may of these folks most think this so if you hit the net maybe you will be inclined to stay o nthe net and wait for help.

With the media, the world situation, life these days, sometimes people have trouble finding that good word. I have tried to watch my words, to everyone, and really take to heart the power of positive words. If I can't be positive, or when criticism is needed be constructive, I really try not to say anything. All too often that one harsh word you could not refrain from saying is the one word that breaks a spirit or relationship.

Truth. It takes effort that I sometimes struggle with, but an effort worthwhile. Sometimes the cycle needs to be broken, and you have to take upon yourself to be the one to do it.

That's terrible. I feel for the family. I wonder if she had tried to get any counceling?

A very selfish act, i can't imagine what she's going through but now her family is destroyed.

As often as it is. Suicide is the easy way out for what people perceive to be problems they cant fix. What they do is devastate and destroy those that just wanted to love them. The only way I can possibly ever understand it is if it actually is resultant from mental illness. But to just 'escape' problems creates horrific problem for those that are left.

When I watch Intervention, if some of those folks on their off themselves it may be for the better of the family. There are worst ways to destroy your family then suicide.
