Halle Berry and self-talk
Self-talk can be the difference between a completed suicide and no suicide. An example is the converstation that Halle Bery indicates she had with herself while contemplating taking her life. She found reasons to live. She thought of her mom, her mom finding her, and how much her mom had sacrificed for her children, and that it would be terribly selfish for Halle to take her life.
Sometimes self-talk is what is needed to stop the person, sometimes the conversation goes the other way. Sometimes there are no reasons mentioned to go on, and the last self-talk is, go ahead and do it--no one cares anyway--how tragic!
I'm glad that Halle found reason not to end it all. I only wish for each person who every second of every day, attempts to take their life, each one would instead find a reason not to.
May each one of us find a reason to go on no matter how bads things seem. May we also live our life in such a way that we are a haven, an island of love and support for all that we come into contact with. Peace.
