> If so the term "lost hope" is not in my opinion accurate.

What an absolutely asshole statement, which also shows an absolutely profound misunderstanding of suicide prevention and care.

Edit: Core belief of suicide ideation is that hope is gone. This is often (but not always) a perception. There may always be more things to try - but that's irrelevant to the person that is dead because they could not see another way.

He meant "last hope". That was the original phrase.
