(November 28, 2015 at 9:29 am)Judi Lynn Wrote: I don't believe that a person who is suicidal intentionally sets out to cause others harm. The person is in so much pain and feels desperate to find a way to end that pain. Life becomes so unbearable that all other forms of relief are no longer an option. They just want relief at that moment.

This, exactly.

Someone who is in enough pain to contemplate taking their own life just is not in the mental condition that would allow them to even consider the impact of their actions. That's to do with rationality, and someone overwhelmed with pain and emotions is hardly capable of thinking about it.
