"hangings" are really just prison "leanings forward.", that's how my partner died thanks for your compassion in describing it so coldly ... lose some one to suicide then re-write this article you arsehole
Just found your article. Great read. As someone in his 60's whose depressed due to looming personal financial crisis and a few health problems, I would be amiss if I said I'm not thinking about taking matters into my own hands, so to speak. Not my first choice, but life is what it is.
I particularly appreciated the parts about suicide in western history.
I wonder if anyone has considered that due to the many choices we make in life concerning diet, drinking, smoking, our mental state, etc, that to some degree, we are all trying to hasten our demise. Maybe in the final analysis, it's all a matter of degree
