The valley of the shadow

Sometimes people drift into dark places, thinking there is no way out. Drugs, failed relationships, money woes, politics even, can drag people into mulling fateful decisions. Here is a stunning list of people who've attempted suicide. The reasons are usually the same--they see no way out of the box they are in. Their attempts failed, and they had to make a slow climb back to some semblance of normalcy. As bad as things get sometimes, they never last. It's like a storm. And the sun always comes back out. You just need the right amount of persistence.
