THE TERRIBLE IFS ACCUMULATE


SUICIDE. The word itself causes a pall to cover us.

"The terrible ifs accumulate", Winston Churhill said.

"IF ONLY I....."

No note.

"WHY?" "WHY?" "WHY?"

No words are adequate to console the parents.

No note.

No explanation.

"NO!" "NO!" "NO!"

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

WHY? IF ONLY. NO!

"I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the cold ground, I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."--Edna St. Vincent Millay

"The terrible ifs accumulate."
