Terry's husband passed away from Lou Gehrig's disease. Things spiraled until a year later she attempted suicide via drugs and alcohol. This story tells us of the importance of asking the questions. Sometimes we fear intruding, but if we are worried, we need to ask, "Are you thinking of suicide?" Terry first worked at being safe. Her therapist suggested she write, and she published a book about hr experience.
David was older, and works in the mental healht profession. A time away from his family lead to spiraling depression, and suicide attempt. Others said, you need help, but it wasn't until he said I need help, that things started to get better.
