dear busdriver802, i know their are other people-you would be surprised-who would suffer the same grief over your death as your mother. i remember once i read in some book something that has always stayed with me:if you are contemplating doing something so extreme as killing yourself, why not first do something equally extreme , like buy a one way ticket to tahiti or alaska or wherever, or sell everything and join a monestary or...well, whatever. you can always kill yourself after that. and you're not spending your last days paying bills and dealing with people...you know? sometimes a radical change can jar us into a new relationship with life, and death. i think about that idea a lot. have you ever thought about something like that? even though i do not know you, i have had a glimpse of similar feelings to yours myself. and i wish for you to find peace, and happiness, and love. i really really do. even from strangers on the internet.
