Story-Telling Unit: Character Development

I have recently begun the process of scripting my short film; "The Meeting".
During the scripting process however, I have stumbled across a bit of a problem. Since I have no experience dealing with suicide, or communicated with people contemplating suicide, I have no idea how the Lucas and Jess characters in my film should react and communicate with each other when certain events happen.
As such, I have decided to undertake some light research into the subject using the internet so that I can create believable dialogue. How am I to do this?
Well I personally think the best way for me to check out how suicidal people communicate would be for me to check out some YouTube videos about people's stories, as well as maybe check out some films that have already been made which feature characters close to ending their own lives.
I hope that by doing this, I can get a bit more of an understanding of the mind and workings of a suicidal person, which will add a sense of reality to my film.
