My personal story of a great friendship, lost to suicide until I spoke to his soul many years later, which conversation saved my life from being ruined by depression the following year, which I wrote for suicide awareness and prevention, and which incorporates the work of Viktor Frankl, deserves a boost: https://medium.com/illumination/dizain-of-suicide-72bcde4dc8d8 It starts with this poem I penned for the story:

We Are Only As Sick As Our Secrets

Suicide provides no relief at all

On ledge imagining end to my pain

Pavement streaming toward me will not end fall

Just before break solution becomes plain

My penance to help others to refrain

Thought my loved ones better off without me

Truth’s too likely they’ll header into sea

Had I known that death cannot be cheated

Baring deep secrets would cure malady

Death would not have left loved ones defeated
