			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;I received a heart wrenching email from someone who was ready to finish it all, ready to give in to the grief and bring an end to the heartache. I can so understand that feeling, I can so understand how people reach that point BUT I beg any of you who have those thoughts to think of these few thoughts&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Death does not bring an end to pain&#8230;just yours. Those around you who are already suffering, would then have more pain to deal with, more guilt to deal with&#8230;I am sure that you love your family and friends and if you do, please <em><strong>don&#8217;t take away</strong></em> your love from them.</li>
<li>Death is a short term fix with <em><strong>no upside</strong></em>. By talking, by getting help you will get over the pain in the long term and the upside is finding a way to enjoy life again&#8230;and even love again.</li>
<li>We have all felt like that, felt that no one could possibly imagine the pain&#8230;but at Widows Quest we are living proof that with time, you can come through&#8230;you are not alone&#8230;and weaker people than yourself have found a way through. <em><strong>Don&#8217;t give up now, you don&#8217;t know how close you are to finding comfort.</strong></em></li>
<li>Would that be what your spouse would have wanted&#8230;really? I know that would not have been the case with me, they would want me to carry on, to enjoy living again&#8230;<em><strong>whilst they watch over me </strong></em>and wait for me. But they would not have wanted me to give up the <em><strong>chance of helping this world be a better place</strong></em>.</li>
<li>There are so many people who do not get a choice when their<a href="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/wp-admin/upload.php?style=inline&amp;tab=browse-all&amp;post_id=-1200931518&amp;_wpnonce=85dba0ff4c&amp;ID=670&amp;action=view&amp;paged=3" id="file-link-670" title="manonledge.jpg" class="file-link image"> 			 <img src="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/files/2007/08/manonledge.thumbnail.jpg" title="manonledge.jpg" alt="manonledge.jpg" align="right" /></a> body fails them, I feel life is <em><strong>too precious</strong></em> to cast it aside.</li>
<li>You need help, you need support, you need someone to reach out and make the pain go away&#8230;.there are people &#8211; friends, family, your doctor, groups, blogs like Widows Quest that can be there for you. <em><strong>They want to be there for you</strong></em>. Don&#8217;t give up on life because you are too scared to ask&#8230;..to weak to ask&#8230;.to proud to ask&#8230;</li>
</ul>
