DHA, please accept my heartfelt sympathies for the demise of your father!I must equally admit that those who have chosen to end their lives by their own means (before a natural cause), do such act, because living everyday gives them an eternal pain and perhaps never ending troubles. Just like your dad or as a matter of fact, anyone else, every person on this earth wants to live the longest, not die. The issue however is, when living has become a hell, they choose to depart. Not that they are weak, nor they have any mental illness, but the fact that for them, living has become simply an unbearable burden!
