A psychiatrist once told me that suicide is not one event but a confluence of many happening all at once, and all of the conditions have to be right for the person to go through with it. First of all, you need despair, and yet strangely enough, while you are in despair the secons thing you need is the will to do it, which, when you think about it, is a strange combination. Third, you need the weapon; fourth, you need to be alone; and fifth and last, you need the opportunity.

Can a felt loss of a persons death be used as a definition of him/her belonging to a family?
A community calendar.
The siblings. While going to school, all my friends had their siblings along with them.
