Death and Loss

she loved us. She was distressed for the separation: "O! For the touch of a lost hand and the sound of one voice that still exists "…

… All the other will become earth. The love will survive from all the other things. The faith will expire and the hope will expire when the faith will be replaced by the vision and the hope from the certainty, but the love will never be expire.

Suicide

Anyone know the definition of life let the states. From Homer and Presocratic Philosophy up today the inconceivable One, Being, Begin, Logos, the Father or God associated with the mystery of life. Biology has not defined what life is as well Philosophy, only recorded evidence characterizing something as living. For example, viruses are not known to be life forms, but they have some to say in the evolutionary process. Man as the most complex of all "ennoun" (with mind) being, with the right to life acquired or donated by God according to the Christian faith or by nature, has not the right also its removal. From seances we learn that men committed suicide at the last time bitterly regret but also the soul does not quiet down beyond. This worst action is not committed only to himself but to the relatives, society, country and the world as a living balanced organism. It is not considered an act of bravery but the opposite. It is an instantaneous irreversible brain nonsense. Doctors will tell us about the mystery of death and priests. Have we come face to face with this mystery? Have we participate in the miracle of birth and growth? What do we feel? Killing the self, slamming both of the eyes that  God sees through us, killing the  nature itself. Even the tiny units, the cells show greater wisdom than suiciders. Apoptotic cells die quietly without harming the surroundings and the total body, in opposite to the necrotic cell that create damage.
Democritus in a hypothetical dialogue for senses and mind says "talaina frin despite our tash pysteis lavousa upon you pay? Corpses katavlima" ie. Hassle dishonesty mind after you get the information from us, you try to put us aside? Any victory of you means your fall.
If the mind is ill, should be fed by, smelling a flower, reading, training the body, making friends with people, talking to the trees (*). If the body is sick or unable, again the mind must be fed, like believing in something strong, supernatural or perfect, loving something, because love is the last feeling that is goes away with death, if it happens ! Biologically, approaching of the loss, the body tries to coordinate and maintain only the mind, feeding it, with what it can give, especially sugars, which is making the same process at the beginning of life. The soul at the end must try, perhaps with the previous. This battle with death is certainly uneven but is still a battle of the "living" soul. Suicide is an unconditional surrender, to the ultimate enemy of life.
The way then to the "end" for you, ie the purpose is not to win but how you fight. Try to think what is the motive of someone to not commit suicide. Something to believe, hope, know or what-everything else. What is the common of all of the "hopes"? Love for loving, hoping, knowing, believing working, creating or even even hating or destroying. Love (Filotis) is the one action that creating the Universe,  according to Empedoklis (450 B.C), the same power who creates molecules in the inorganic world. Love is the ultimate, even higher from faith, for St. Paul and endless examples for this "emotion" who moves matter soul and spirit in the same way.
* In ancient Greece believed that a tree is a upside man pined to ground. Plato describe that the man's body is like the reverse of  tree (eg. the root of a tree is the man's brain).
