A couple years ago a friend of mine--the only friend--killed himself.
Since then, I've had suicide ideations 24/7 and occasionally urges...but was always concerned with how my family would be affected. Now on HRT, the vast, vast majority of SI and SU are gone, and the few that I still get are easily controlled...
But my concerns about how my family would take my death still form a morbid curiosity. This book (The Suicide Index (http://www.amazon.com/The-Suicide-Index-Putting-Fathers/dp/B002SB8MWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345427074&sr=8-1&keywords=suicide+index)) is about how one family deals with the suicide of the father of a moderately sized "nuclear" family, from the perspective of one of his daughters.
True story. I hope to learn from it.
