Default September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

When someone we know or know of dies suddenly or unexpectedly I think of suicide because it has happened to people that I know.

Suicide among doctors - Wikipedia

I was shocked and very surprised at the reaction of a few people when I broached the subject a few days ago.

One called me "sick". One called for removal of my post and that did happen. I believe that in this day and age, we all must be aware of severe depression around us. I am still trying to understand the reaction to my post.

Above all, I want you to know that I meant in no way to be insensitive or callous. None of us is immune to overwhelming sadness and hopelessness at times.
