WOW. I thought your last essay was powerful, but this one really hits home. I have a friend who was suicidal some years back, and hostile to seeking any professional help. I think I helped them as best I could, but I wish I’d had this to read. Thankfully, they’re still here.
It felt like such a crushing responsibility at the time, I can’t imagine having done it multiple times. I’m in awe of your compassion and resilience.

Loved it. And it was actually helpful for me at the moment.
