There are two kinds of suicide, I think. One is born of a a darkness and despair so deep that death seems the only answer to escape the pain. I've been there. I talk about it in "My Secret Identity", a kind of autobiography that I'm writing (in fits and starts).
There is also the rational choice of allowing nature to take its course. I've decided that should cancer return, I will not fight it, this time. I'm 65. For a long time, now, I go to more wakes and funerals than I do marriages and christenings. I've lived a good life, have loved and been loved, laughed and cried...what else is there?
I'm not afraid to face any "judgment." I haven't been perfect, but, more often than not, my "sins" were against myself. I have paid for those sins. Generally, I have tried to live the Golden Rule as it was in my power to do so. I want to leave this life with a heart full of gratitude and still laughing.

I think there can be extreme bravery involved in the decision to kill one's self..
Today is the tomorrow I was so worried about yesterday.
