Just in case you think euthanasia is compassionate and kind.

just another satanic perversion… which done nothing but firm up my conclusion that the medical profession is there to kill us with as much suffering as possible before the govt takes our stuff…

this has reminded me of two stories that i probably shouldn’t share, but have a humorous component, two friends of mine attempted suicide,

the first he a manger of a motel in a dead end town , had had enough , went into the garage attached to the managers unit , climbed onto the step ladder attached a rope to one of the exposed beams the other end he tied around his neck, then downed a bottle of sleeping tablets. waited to fall asleep. brilliant idea i thought when he told me about it, while waiting for sleep to come, the delivery man turned up tooted. then tooted again, so my friend thinking he better go take the delivery because he’d look like a right dick if the delivery man found him sitting on top of the ladder with a rope around his neck. his partner found him asleep on the reception floor, he spent a month in a psychiatric until in Hamilton hospital.. he’s still with us.

now my oldest friend in the world, we met first year of primary school , his wife of thirty years , two children , two failed business , he’s been on night shift for 27 years to fund all of that, said to him at the start of the 1st NZ lock down,” i cant stand the thought of being in the same house as you ”

it all exploded in his head, his first attempt was to gas him self in the car, but one of his boys popped round and saw the set up had his dad on about it,

so his next idea was to take a bottle of sleeping tablets walk down to the beach and swim out.., he woke up in north shore hospital, vaccinated! , some walkers had found him in a ditch, apparently he took too many sleeping tablets got 2/3rds of the way to the beach before he fell asleep. rolled down into a storm water drain .. any way he’s all right except he keeps rubbing his chest saying he doesn’t feel right.

the only two guys i know who were successful, both used shot guns. those stories are very grim

Those stories show how we can change our perspective from week to week and if we’ll just hang on things will work themselves out in most cases. My younger brother committed suicide leaving behind his wife and their daughter. I believe it was because the medication he was prescribed for his depression was known to create suicidal thoughts and was only supposed to be a short term remedy for no more than a couple of months but they had him on it for more than 1 year. The pain it leaves behind for every member of the family (he came from our family of 9 people) lasts for years the sadness of feeling so helpless, of the love we felt for him and maybe we could have done something, said something, to help him through if only he had reached out. The pain of not having the extra time with him and of him not growing old with us and the deep deep sadness that does diminish over time but never really leaves.
