Depression or mental illness is a very complicated subject, what many may think is easy and clear cut isn't to the person going through it, especially when the depressed person is in that 'dark place' or with 'tunnel vision'. It's always helpful to be a friend and try to be there to listen, entertain or distract I have found all these to be helpful. Believing in a higher power is often a very good deterrent. My personal phone line has always been open to my friend's and family during anytime should they feel like this. They can attest to this being so. No one is ever too busy to be there for someone. Wish I could've been there for Chester too.
