Although seniors and suicide were things I dealt with often as a counselor, I can only imagine the personal pain and devastation someone must feel when they lose a loved one this way. And the topic could not be timelier, because as most of you already know, actor and comedian Robin Williams died two weeks ago on August 11, 2014. He was found in his home – the victim of a suicide – at age 63.
As we grow older, most of us wish to exit this world as peacefully as possible.
