> My personal spirituality has been another life-saver for me. I do believe in God. For me, it doesn't make sense not to. I do find that life is a gift. It is a brilliant exercise of God's handywork. Still, I don't think He would find fault with someone taking their own life. Again, this is a part of my persoal spiritual belief system.

>Good point. I think that the only real differences people have are in their concept of God.
And Life is an amazing adventure if you think about it; I don't want to miss a minute, no matter what has happened or will happen.
