Don't die theory
My wife, who has been developing depression for 10 years, recently said “I want to die.” I'm saying that.
I said, “I want you to be with me. Right now, even if I haven't been able to do anything yet, I'm just calling out repeatedly,” but the current situation is that it doesn't reach my heart easily.
The other day, continuing with the words “I want to die,” as always, “theoretically explain why you shouldn't die.” I was told.
Maybe they're not really looking for that theory. Maybe it was just a word that came out just because I wanted to talk about it, but I had no words to return to these words, so I just kept silent.
I have a younger sister who was on good terms with my wife, and she committed suicide about 15 years ago. “What's the difference between my sister and myself? It seems that they are also worried, “Why shouldn't I just die?”
I have repeatedly told them, “My sister is my sister, you are you,” but this doesn't seem to have reached my heart either.
There may not be any answers my wife is satisfied with, but if I have an answer that I am satisfied with, I think I can use it to speak out in the future.
Thank you to all the monks for your support.
