I’m very thankful that I do not have a regular prescription medication regiment and only take vitamins, natural supplements and a low dose aspirin daily.

One brisk December day in 2010, three days after my best girlfriend’s 50th birthday, her 78 year-old father made the decision to end his life. He took his pistol out of the case, put the barrel to his head and pulled the trigger. There was no suicide note, and he had not spoken of suicide...
