Good question Roze. I often have the same problem as you write about. Being someone who has a history of "wanting to die", I can understand your position.
It is hard, even odd at times, to offer advice about something that you are struggeling with, or have strugled with in the past. On teh same token, it can be easier to help because you HAVE been there, and you knwo what it feels like.
My position is that sometimes life REALLY hurts. Sometimes I feel it is selfishof ME to want to have someone live who REALLY is in pain and wants to die. But when you love and care about somoene, you want them to live, you also don't want them to suffer.
All I can say is that it is ok to help someone who wants to die. You do the best that you can do, and know in your heart you did the right thing!
Does this make any sence to anyone? I hope so...
Love, Dara

I think that we rationally know things, and rationally understand things, but the emotional is a totally different side. Rationally, things are clear and acceptable, but emotional things are scattered and scary. I often think that the problem with emotion is that it is about the moment, while the rational is about the future. Therefore, even though you are feeling pain, it is very conceivable to give rational advice, because you understand the situation - and it is VERY understandable if you are there at that given time.
