I’ve experienced peering into that abyss; being on that precipice. It was an option, fortunately didn’t feel like the best one. Well, more accurately, I got scared.
Sadly, my cousin’s pain and despair were too great for him, and too hidden from everyone. There was no note. No indication. No anything.
I do hope he finds peace.
Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
