Depression

Someone I love is seriously depressed. Depressed to the point of wanting to end it all. I am frightened for this person and I don’t know how to help him. I wonder how such a thing can happen, much like many of the things that happen in the world. This is close to me though and very difficult to deal with. I don’t want to make things worse, but I want to help. I want him to understand that so many people love him and that him leaving us would make things worse, not better. I am so upset right now.
