Thank you Emily....I too resonate with Ruth's story. I too am part of one of Dr. Jackson 's support group meetings at Vanderbilt. It has been a Godsend to me. I too battle with suicidal thoughts. The thought of remaining so incompetent the rest of my life is almost to much to bear. To go from a completely independent functional individual to one the can't complete a simple task is to much to handle. The only reason I'm still here is because I know taking my own life is wrong and incompatible with my Christian beliefs. It would also be a win for satan. And I refuse to let evil win.

Please keep sharing our stories.

I am so thankful to read Emily's story - for greater awareness and understanding. How I wish I could help in some way. In my daily walk, I will continue to discuss, inform others and hopefully broaden perspectives enough to improve our support systems. *Emily - thank you for your focus and commitment. - Nadene Eller
