Suicide is a particularly awful way to die: the mental suffering leading up to it is usually prolonged, intense and unpalliated. There is no morphine equivalent to ease the acute pain, and death, not uncommonly, is violent and grisly.

Suicide carries in its aftermath a level of confusion and devastation that is, for the most part, beyond description.
