"Many are not equipped", sadly that is very true and even people who are equipped have a very hard time of it.

Part of the reason I think especially in Western Societies we live very safe lives, so when something really bad happens to us people usually don't have the skills to manage it.

The saddest thing about people who suicide is that if they take it one day at a time, the feeling will eventually pass. But even those who are in the helping fields are more vulnerable to committing suicide than the general population.
