In Another Country, through the voice of the preacher sermonizing over the dead Rufus, a suicide victim, James Baldwin spoke profoundly:

And I tell you something else, don’t none of you forget it: I know a lot of people done took their own lives and they’re walking up and down the streets today and some of them is preaching the gospel and some is sitting in the seats of the mighty. Now, you remember that. If the world wasn’t so full of dead folks maybe those of us that’s trying to live wouldn’t have to suffer so bad.
