" I had long ago given up on the notion that suicide is a cowardly cop-out. I think that anyone who feels suicidal is presented with one of two types of courage. Giulia had one type, which was to face the feelings each day and still choose life. No matter how much life hurt, this courage helped her wake up each day. Marie had the other type of courage, one I wish no one had. She believed in her feelings. So deep was her sense that things would never get better, and that there was no way out, that she ended her whole world. "
