Thank you. Well, no wonder I was puzzled, since this sentiment is thoroughly alien to me. When I hear of a suicide, my first thought and feeling are: "I'm glad his/her suffering is over".

I'm surprised you call it "thoroughly alien," I would have thought my position is thoroughly non-weird, even cliched. You really think nobody ever made a mistake by killing themselves? I won't try to tell you otherwise, but you must know that that's not a typical opinion.
