Someone is dealing with debilitating chronic pain and has thoughts of suicide, how do you step in to help them?

How do you deal with someone who is suffering from chronic (debilitating) pain and who’s health keeps on getting worse, and they say that they may want to “pack it all in”?

It’s a cry for help.

I am going through this now with a family member (some of you know what I am talking about) and it’s time to take the bull by the horns. Time to rid her of the mooching, asshole of a husband (file for divorce), help her with the selling of the house (and moving) since, she is in so much pain, some days she isn’t able to get out of bed. Time to get her back closer to home (with family and friends – support) because she is isolated where she is at…

When someone is in this desperate of a situation, you have to take action yourself, right? To fix things?
