I met a woman at a conference a few years back. She came up to me after I spoke. She confessed that suicidal thoughts ambushed her as painful intruders. I hugged her and expressed grief that this was a daily battle for her, one that had gone on a long time. I gave her a new perspective as I described that suicidal thoughts can be, for some, a regular temptation. Put in those terms she had a different way to battle.
