New figures released by the Japanese authorities this week show that the country’s suicide rate is still climbing despite government efforts to dramatically reduce the figure by 2016, and the fastest rise appears to be among elderly Japanese, a growing sector of the population that is also experiencing rising poverty.

Hi Jane,
I am a Christian that just read your blog about lossing your faith. I find it unfortunate that you don’t see God in the same light you use to. Maybe I can help you. Do you have any questions that have plagued you , that had weakend your faith. Just email me and I will try to find you an answer.
I also suffered from depression when I was younger(25), it almost destroyed me. God was graceous and kept me alive. He was there for me, even when I felt really far from him. I suppose what I am saying is , that we put all our focus on the problems that are affecting us from others. In turn we start to get a negitive outlook on the world and people around us. When we fall into the trap, of a self absorbed state, it is hard to see what the real truth about things is.
I hope this may help you a bit, and remember everyone needs prayer, even you. God Bless you with a good attitude and mentality, for hope that he is for us.
