In his article "Struggling to Understand Suicide," Ron Rolheiser president of Oblate School of Theology talks about a man that gave a speech about his brothers death by suicide. He mentioned that suicide is actually a type of an emotional cancer, it is something that sometimes can be cured by doctors, sometimes can be controlled enough for the person to live for the rest of their remaining life or it may be a cancer that can not be stopped and evidently kills the person. He describes how after a person commits suicide it doesn't just take them away from life and their families but it also takes away the loving memories that the family once had about the person. Finding out how to understand how suicide would be the best anybody could do in order to prevent from even more happening.
In my opinion I completely agree with Rolheiser from him mentioning that suicide can be a form of an emotional cancer and how it something so dark and emotional that is always somewhat there just hiding. I agree with him because I have had a friend actually commit suicide and it had literally gave me the same type of feelings to which Rolheiser described.
