13. FWIW: I've had suicidal ideations for more than 50 years.

OBVIOUSLY, I'm still here.
The story that touched me the most was that of someone (I think a guy) who decided to commit suicide by jumping off a San Francisco bridge -- and who realized after his jump that he really didn't want to die. Somehow, he survived.

The suicide hot line people are f-ing brilliant. They KNOW. I consulted them when a dearly loved cousin attempted suicide but then called for help at the last minute.

Is it possible to find a drug that will relieve your dear wife of her pain?

I wish you and her every positive outcome. much love --
