Hi captrn, sorry about your loss. I think everyone needs a break from time to time. I just signed out of 10 groups that I was a member of, and then I got a lot of e-mails I had to answer telling everyone I'm OK, I just need a break. That in itself took two days.

My mother committed suicide and I can tell you one thing. People are going to do it no matter how much you try to help. They will need a real life person to stop them and I don't see how moral support over the internet can make much difference. So please try not to worry and just say some prayers that God (or) your higher power (if you have one) will take care of it.

When this person snaps out of this (and I hope they do) most likely they will be thankful that you cared and didn't butt in with personal e-mails.

Tammy
