Letters to the editor – as seen in Minneapolis Star-Tribune on January 16th 2015.

As a suicide survivor, I know how impossible it can be to pick up the phone or even open your mouth (“Suicide at age 6? Cops left to puzzle,” Jan. 15). My brother was unable to swallow a new antidepressant 20 minutes before he accomplished a much tougher task. So, if you’re having trouble staying alive, at least stay in a visible place. Sooner or later, someone will see you and you won’t disappear.
