Such a great happy time for some and others not. There are so many reasons
why people feel one way or the other. It helps not just the person
contemplating S, but gives the person who took the time out of there own
personal existence to help in even some small way, no doubt feels better
about there own self as well. A gift like know other they could receive from
anything materialistic given this time of the year, or any other time for
that matter. I guess that goes with out saying. But there are some who would
rather look the other way and have nothing to do with it. Even some so
called friends don't have anything to do or say about it till it actually
happens. Then you may here them say "It doesn't surprise me" or "I thought
that might happen". When some one is so far down in that blackness, hurting
that much in side to be thinking of ending there life, who knows that one
small jester of kindness or understanding - a phone call a visit or just
being there for a short conversation or hearing them out might be all it
takes for them to stay on this side of the fence a bit longer. I have a
weird or unconventional way of dealing with it my self, maybe not a good
thing. When I'm in pain and just feel like I can't deal with it anymore, I
always say to my self , just one more day of this and I can do it tomorrow.
Seeing I'm still here today, tomorrow is always better or I give my self
another day again. This time of the year I feel depressed from not being
able to make plans ahead of time or missing an event when I do. It bothers
me that I have to disappoint people so many times. I know physical pain and
emotional pain can be equally disabling and some times coexist as one. I do
have a few friends who understand my situation and are an emotional
uplifting goldmine. You can have a hundred friends that you see and carry on
with small talk in passing. 50 that you may meet and talk with at an
occasional event. 10 that you stay in contact with on a fairly regular basis
and only a handful that you trust with personal things. Then there's only
one or two that actually come through and step up to the plate for you when
you're having trouble. When a complete stranger helps you out it gives you
hope that things are going to be ok. Not just for me but for others too. we
need more strangers with there heart in the right place. I can see it being
very lonely for some this time of the year and a simple phone call to wish
them well is all it would take to give them a glow of warmth for the cold
winter days ahead.
I wish you all a better and greater year then ever before and a lot more
pain free days marked on the 2008 calendar.

I hate to bring this up, it is a difficult thing to speak of but at times
it needs to be done.
This season has the highest rate of suicide of the year. That seems odd
as most think of the time spent with family, joy of gift giving, being
with others, throwing Christmas eggs, whatever. For some that is not
reality some though. For some the stress is tremendous. For some that feel
alone they feel even more alone. If they can't do what they feel is
appropriate stress goes up. If they have to spend the holiday away from
home stress goes up. There are so many factors that can cause stress and
suicide rates to climb they could not be listed here.
There reason I bring this subject up is to ask you to take a moment to
think of people you know and their situation. Don't rush them to the
emergency room but don't ignor them either. Do something! Ask advice from
your pastor your doctor or your guru.
