This story deals with suicide. It does not glorify it or gloss it over or take the easy way out. It also explores child sexual abuse in the context of psychiatric therapy.

I am not a therapist; I do not claim to be an expert. What I do have is personal insight and a great deal of research.

I invite you to explore these topics with me with the understanding that I do not have all the answers. If you are contemplating suicide or are a victim of sexual abuse, I encourage you to seek help.

The title is from the theme song to the movie MASH called Suicide is Painless
