I usually think the attempts and decision are very much a way of opening one's self up for help for the last time, especially if it's announced in some way. I'm reminded of a man on the Golden Gate bridge (I forget his name right now) who was spotted by a police officer. They talked for a while and he didn't jump. There are hundreds of stories like this. I just remember this one in particular because they reunited years later year and it was in the news not too long ago.
Is it normal that people prevent suicide?

You can't really "force" anyone to live. If you were able to dissuade them it means they were open to be given hope.

I like this a lot. People who considered suicide but were able to be persuaded have to take the credit themselves for being open to hope :)
