If you have loved ones, that suggestion can work. If you know your (x) loves you, then you think about the pain they will feel when you're gone it can sway your thoughts.

Or it could just add the the guilt that a person feels and make suicide more likely.

We know that telling someone with a phobia "don't be scared of that thing" doesn't work.

Why do we think that merely saying "think of your family. They love you" will be effective?
