[QUOTE="Duncandl, post: 3839096, member: 4389"] From what I understand it wasn't a factor in the decision process until Life Insurance was offered for sale, at that point things changed. Hopefully all is well with whoever asks this question and while I have many friends who get very frustrated when they hear of another person taking their own lives I rarely share what suicide has done to my family and friends. Christmas Day 1978 I woke up to my father speaking on the phone with my Grandmother as she wept for my Grandfather who couldn't handle the pain and/or treatment for advanced Prostate Cancer. My parents didn't know how to break it to us so for years we lived with a story that was completely fabricated, we didn't live anywhere close to a family member as my dad served in the Navy and we lived in California at the time. It wasn't until I was in the Navy on my own that my mother decided to spill the beans on what went down, it was understandable as he was having a very hard time, didn't have the financial means to continue much longer and really was just done with his own life. He made a decision and we all lived with it. I don't share this to sway, encourage or demean anyone that has travelled that path and contemplates the road to no return. It has to be something none of us can fathom, and I hope that no one ever has to live with that news but I do know that it will continue to happen, for every birth into this world there is someone out there ready to go to the next big gun swap meet in the sky. Celebrate with all of your close family and friends and be there for them when things get ugly. [/QUOTE]
