My motherinlaw Sybil committed suicide this week, and we are finding it very hard to deal with, we are yet to say our final goodbyes, which will happen next week, 4 November 2003 she will be finally at peace. I went to my local shopping centre this week at Browns Plains where there was a stand where I found out about this organisationn and what it had to offer, and I want to take this opportunity to thank your organisation as you have come into our life at the right moment. The white wreaths you have is just truly amazing and we intend on wearing them at her funeral, as a sign of respect not only to her but to all those lost by suicide. To those of you who have lost someone I truly am sorry and if you wish to talk to me feel free to drop me a line at my email, as I feel the more support we get from people that KNOW what we are going through the easier the grieving process will be for all.

It has been 1 year and 6 days since I lost my beautiful brother "Mathew". On October the 7th we finally layed Mathew to rest, Mum and I have been for the past two weeks getting his pond ready. It has been so hard leading up to and including the first aniversary.But we did it and I hope Mathew is at peace finally, I think I feel a little better, I went to the house as you would know Mathew and layed a dried rose from your arrangement last year. I will never go there again as I want to remember your beautiful smile and loving nature. It is still so hard to look at your photo, but I can talk about you easier than I could. I will never stop aching to see, hear or hug you again. But I really hope you are at peace now. Love Christie xxxxxx

My husband hung himself 2 years and 4 months ago and the pain is still so bad that I find normal life difficult. We have 2 beautiful daughters that he was so proud of. They have been a wonderful support to me and I have had a couple of friends stick by me but on the whole it has been the reaction of family and old friends that has torn my life apart. Jeff's family have not spoken to us since my daughter rang to let them know. They even ran from me when I approached them at the funeral. It is very hard to not carry guilt when others treat you this way. Jeff had never discussed suicide with me although he had cyclical depression. I have reached a point where I don't really know what to do about turning my life around. I have paid top price for a few councilling sessions but apart from that us survivors are left to fend for ourselves. Why doesn't anyone contact families??? In desperation tonight I thought I'd check the internet. It has been so heartening to see these comments.I feel something like I might be normal. I took a transfer at work because a small section of the workplace clientel took every opportunity to bring my "personal problems" into my every actions. So now in my daily life I live in the shroud of secrecy so my working life is viewed normally. That means I now don't even have my colleagues to understand when things are tough but at least the other problems have ceased. The stigma is real -believe me. How can the cycle be broken though? Sometimes I wish he had died in a train crash or terror attack so there would be some help. Thankyou to everyone who have put their thoughts down. It brings some comfort and hope to know you are not alone.
