After seeing (and feeling) what happens to the people left behind, I have noticed my suicidal thoughts have diminished.

I have similar thoughts, every single day. Bike riding in traffic can do this to me more than anything. Just one swerve, by me or by the cars, and it's all over - or I'm at least horribly crippled. I'm never truly tempted, of course.

An Orange City Council member was killed in a head on collision a couple years back. Lady was drunk and crossed the meridian. She was barely injured. He was in his 30's with a daughter in kindergarten, a local guy who'd worked hard for his community. The entire city mourned. Luck. Bad, bad luck.

I'm a happy person too. Even so, (or perhaps, because) these thoughts are around all the time, reminding me how lucky I am, every single day.
