Her adversity was her own failure at life. In her efforts to improve her situation by earning more money, she felt that she was taking on one of the worst, lowest tier jobs on earth. She slowly came to see the value in doing this work. She came to realise how her service helped those people in the darkest, emotionally wrenching times of their lives. She came to feel valued and able to contribute to the betterment of the world – simply in showing compassion to those who are suffering and doing a job that they could not. We must remember that sometimes people are not strong enough to see another way of coping. Usually they are suffering in ways others cannot comprehend. They are afraid, tired, sick…there are many reasons why one may choose suicide. It is not for those of us, who have not experienced their depression, to judge. Rather, like Rose, it is for us to assuage the hurt for those who have lost someone they love.
