Hey Dad; it's hard ot believe that it's been 16 years since you died. I was busy doing something today and it hit me like a ton of bricks that this is your anniversary. I've come a long way in my working through your death; 16 years later I can honestly say I forgive you. My children are beautiful and I know how proud you would have been of them; it is their brilliance that has brought me to complete healing over the pain that I had when you took your life, their little cherub hands worked hard at making it better for mommy and they removed my pain over time with their laughter. I had a great Christmas Dad and it was the first Christmas that I've talked about you in a long time only this time when I talked about you it wasn't of bad icky memories, it was memories of the heart, memories from the love you instilled in me years ago, love that I had buried with my own selfishness. Rest in peace Daddy. Love Karen

My one and only precious baby brother Brad took his own life on 10/12/2003, he was 29 years old. I have been busy looking on the internet and reading lots of stories about suicide and am greatly saddened by them all and did not realise just how big a problem it is. I was nieve in thinking this ugly monster (suicide) wouldn't rear its head in my life and take from me my brad. The many unanswered questions and the WHY? factor torment me and make me feel angry and heartbroken. I know I am not alone and there are many many people out there who are struggling with these same feelings. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO SO MUCH BRAD AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU, SOMEONE LIKE YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN BY ALL WHO KNEW AND LOVED YOU SO DEARLY. HUGS AND KISSES , WENDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

My mother took her life in February this year in England. The pain was unimaginable especially as I was on the other side of the world from the rest of the family. I have coped reasonably well however over the last few months have felt a lot of anger against her for not talking about it more and at sociaety in general for not caring enough. the warning signs are there but most people bury their heads in the sand. My brothers and sisters have all had to deal with the issues more upfront than I as they live in the area but they have each other. Being in another country and no family it has been hard for me to undrstand. I'm amazed at how many people have been through the same as me and its comforting to know I am not alone and that my feelings of anger and guilt are normal. My next step is to attend a support group which I think woudl be better than paying for a counsellor. The best people to help are htose who have been through it. many thanks for your info.

I stumbled across this site today, and was amazed at all the facts that are noted. My Grandfather committed suicide in 1989, and back then there wasn't alot of help about apart from councilers who made the family feel worse, its great to see an organisation harness new technology available to all, at no cost, when i think about it we spend hundreds of dollars on councilling and for what??? Keep up the great work.

Hi everyone, i have tried to commit suicide a number of times.Butwhen i actually stopped and thought about it i kinda think not to do it.I have lost a family memeber by suicide and i dont really want my family to endure the same pain they had when we lost our brother. I still am suicidal and i pray that i can endure life and live
