Suicide doesnt take the pain away...it puts it off on others...the lack of mental health resources in our county is apparent.  we have the highest suicide rate in our state..why were rails put up instead of the almost 8 foot fences that were there previously?.IIf people want to kill themselves, theyre gonna do it one way or another.  But, any kind of deterant might save a life.  .I have called to get a loved one an appointment to see a counselor after they said they wanted to die.  After telling the receptionist that he was suicidal and mentioned recent incidents I was told to call back in 2 weeks that they were too busy but mite be able to help him then.the system is failing, our loved ones are falling through the cracks....my heart hurts for his family.  Ive known Joe for years.  I grew up in Clallam Bay, I worked with Joe at the coffee shop in Forks, his grandparents are some of the sweetest people you could ever meet.
