I've had a few good friends who have killed themselves and perhaps for that reason they are often on my mind. Some are from more than 30 years ago. Mainly I admire their resolve and determination, regret that I never told them in time what they meant to me, and feel sorrow that their lives ended and in that way.
We live in such a relentlessly superficial upbeat culture where the voice of despair is unwelcome, so when people vote with their feet it no longer surprises me.
