She knew making suicide harder for people who were considering it was sometimes the difference between life and death. She’d read about the suicide rate plummeting in Great Britain after something as simple as swapping the coal gas stoves for natural gas, because too often, suicide came down to a matter of convenience.
I read and researched a lot about this and it was truly so fascinating for me to see. I gave Tallie that same knowledge and she really takes it to heart over the course of the weekend...feeling like distracting Emmett with anything other than his pain or his reasons for wanting to end his life = good things. She knows this is true from her training as a therapist and it's a base level idea for her. Her plan is simply to keep eyes on him...to keep him talking...to spend time with him and listen to him...hoping and praying that those things can make a difference.
