My Son Jason took his life by stepping off a Cliff at Sydney heads one day before his 22nd Birthday in Sept 96.Now that he is gone i know that part of me has gone as well and i am struggling to keep my Chin up. I thought as time went by that i might be able to move on myself but like a lot of people i have good days and alot of bad ones. It would be nice for all of us if we could get some answers...."WHY".

Hey I want to thank you for what u are doing. I attempted suicide when I was 16 and am now 19. I wish to die everyday. I was admitted to hospital and left two days later. Counselling was arranged-I went once and never went back. There was no follow up. My family does not mention what happened it is as if it is a memory that only I have. I felt worse knowing that the hospital were so comfortable to discharge me even though I refused to tell them what I was thinking(it was as if my life really wasn't important)partly my fault of course for not telling them. My mum works at the hospital and I think my suicide was covered up for privacy and as it was easier that way. This only made me more ashamed. I know I need help but no one realises how hard it is to ask for it as everyone thinks it is attention seeking. I just want to give you a little insight from someone who knows - no matter how loved someone is they can still want to die, it is often no fault of the family or friends and sometimes the reality is that nothing will stop them. Do not blame yourself because it is not about you it's about us.

My sister Tracy Maree Maurer took her own life, while travelling in Chile, 8th September 1999. She was 39 years old and single. She was School Captain of Clayfield Collge in Brisbane, 2nd to the Dux that year, an A Grade Journalist with ABC, and before that The Courier-Mail. She had a passion for life unknown by most people. Perhaps her overdrive hid the pain. In her last 5 years, she dropped out of conventional work, struggled to 'fit-in' with mainstream life, became 'not herself' inappropriate and 'scary' to be around. Mental health stuffed around too long, they stumbled and she fell, and as a family we could not catch her. We still feel the pain, her pain, our pain. But WWDay will raise awareness, and in time I firmly believe, the strangeness of strangers, will become a community care issue, and we'll be better equipped to help people like Tracy, who also called herself 'Meera Grace'. She touched many hearts and I pray this touches yours. May God save all our souls. Matt or her nickname for me 'Pom Pom'.
