This un-fairy tale

I've been talking to my friend online for a while now. (and yes, we're friends irl too) But she's very sick. I mean, very very very sick, like, I don't know how she functions. She's been diagnosed with Dysautonomia as well (except hers is high HR and BP, where as mine is High HR and LOW BP), but she's also has a chronic pain disease (not the same as mine :-p), PCOS and a few other lovely choice diseases to make one's living miserable. She is the strongest person I know. She seems to never let it get her down! She works full time, goes to SCHOOL full time, and volunteers for places.

Today, I've been talking to her online, and she's talking about suicide. This is something that I'm torn about. I know that last year, when my health was at it's worst, I wanted to kill myself SO desperately, that I almost did. The only thing stopping me was the people I left behind would be even MORE hurt and upset by that than by my being a burden on them.

As most people know, I'm a suicide advocate. I know it's controversial, and may sound silly, but I think that people should be able to kill themselves if they've exhausted every other option, have made the decision in a non-emotional state, and have no children. This is difficult for me to deal with. I love my friend, and I know that this is a really difficult decision. It's just...breaking my heart that I can't do anything for her. I've even suggested God. Faith gives people hope. People with hope want to live regardless of how hopeless the situation is.
