Suicide is a Liar and a Thief - redstate.com
Excerpt from this article:
"...I believe someone out there needs to hear/read these words. If that
is you, just take 5 minutes to read on before you decide on anything
else. Five minutes of your time. That’s all I ask. Here’s what you need to know if you are considering suicide: Don’t do it....Please…don’t do it. You can come back from anything awful in this world, but suicide is the one place no one ever returns from. Click here if you think you need help…or reach out to one person you trust. You are worth the help."

I once heard someone say, "Everyone who is serious about suicide is dead." My mother passed away from cancer many years ago but like the author of the above article she too suffered from major depression throughout her life. She never talked about suicide, but I'm sure she thought about it - a lot!
The author of the article above calls suicide a liar. Satan - who is behind every suicidal thought - wants people to believe that they can commit suicide and then all their problems will go away. But that's a lie. The Bible says: "It is appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgement." - Hebrews 9:27
But the Bible also has a lot of good advice for people who may be contemplating ending it all. About 3000 years ago King Solomon wrote:
"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better." Ecclesiastes 7:2,3
