gidday jude and dave, just a quick gidday. guys i was thinking after sunday which was a wonderful day about the possibility of holding a tax deductible national door knock appeal annually to get the much needed funds in each capital city for the counselling houses.it would only be a few phone calls to see if white wreath could hold such an event and if so it is a fair bit of organising in each state to each suburb.we collect annually for leukaemia foundation and it is amazing how people open there hearts and donate and also white wreath would also be educating the public about the organisation and also awareness.this was proven on sunday when the sound lady at the end of the kingaroy service opened up and said she wasn't aware of such an organisation.and from that day on i feel she will heal. all the speeches on this day were very touching and i feel this video could go to parliament and any other video around Australia to touch there hearts and listen also this email could go to parliament because before sundays service i felt how lucky i am not to have had this disease affect my own children but now after the service i learnt i am not a lucky parent this could affect me as a parent any time any day because it is a hidden disease. Love Ray and Kerry.

Thank you to White Wreath. I have been unable to really mourn my 21 year old daughter since she died 3 years ago today. I am going to the White Wreath Ceremony in Canberra today to be with others who may be able to understand what I feel. Myr Brandi-lee was a beautiful girl and no one really knows why she felt she had to leave this world. I love her like she was still here. I have two other daughters who have both tried to commit suicide and really don't know how to help them either. Now that I know about White Wreath Day I hope I can have a day to grieve when I don't feel like I must hide it. I know it is hard for others to understand but they really must learn that we are just people who have lost someone we loved dearly and are constantly hurting inside. We feel guilt and shame and sorrow and sadness and so many things...please, just reach out to us and let us know that you care and that it's alright to talk about our daughters or loved ones. Don't make us bottle up all our feelings and feel ashamed of talking about them. I love you Bran. Always will...your Mum.

I heard about this on Triple J on my way home tonight. So tomorrow I will be laying a wreath for two of my oldest friends Skot and Joanne who have been away for nearly a year. You would think time would heal the hurt but it doesn't. You think that it only happens to other people, and you can become detached from the reports in papers, tv, radio on statistics and tradgedies and grief and suffering because IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO ME. Well guess what, it does, in some way the curse, the black dog, the scourge will make its mark. It thrives on alienation and social malaise, the silence from authorities feeds this disease. It eats your soul, a dark churning void where once used to be the connection between friend and friend and friend, no white no glow just a sickening sorrow. You want to remember but you want to forget. I love you both and I hate you both and I will cry for you because you have to start to heal somehow I suppose.

I wanted to let you know that people care. I am a mental Health Consumer representative. I sit on many commitees/working parties repressenting those in the community who suffer from mental illness. Sadly many many times people come to me whos family member has suicided had no history of mental illness. We ALL need to make every effort to get the message out there that there is HELP available. I am preaching to the converted on this site but we must all try ever day in every way to be a voice for our "lost" and for someone else who may become lost without telling someone they need help. We loose more of our young people to suicide than car accidents. How quick the governments are to do all they can to prevent accidents but WHAT are they realy doing to prevent suicide>>>>>>
