Hi People Id just like to say a big thankyou to the wonderful emails I recieved from caring people from this website. It has been 11mths since my hubby suicided. The pain hasnt got any easier the worst day was watching my little girl have her first birthday without her dad here. People are right you just have to try and focus on other things and put your energy into taking your mind off "what could have been" and stop trying to second guess why they did what they did. oh boy thats easier to say than actually do!Im really glad I found this site reading about people been depressed and having problems as we all do, but read the pain that us the survivers are going through my little girl will never know her dad and thanks to him not even his family as they choose to ignore us since this has happened. Life is very short embrace everyday and live life each day as if its our last. A friend once said to me walk out side study the surroundings really look at the colours take note of what u see, listen to the sounds the birds make now close yr eyes and listen... imagine this is your last day on earth...... Try it its very scary. Why would u not want to see smell touch and look and the beautiful things that surround us every day look at what nature has given us?. Next friday the 8th sept would have been my husbands 33rd birthday I dont know how I'll be on that day or what I should do about it, then on the 8th of oct will be his first anniversary of his death and my bday the next day. Life does go on and Ive been told its for the living. I have also been very lucky and have met a wonderful man his wife also suicided and left him with three boys so with my three girls we are the aussie brady brunch trying to help each other through difficult times and making a solid future for all us. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The memories and pain will never go away as one day my little girl will want to know about her dad and I know I dont have the answers that she will be looking for as I dont have them myself. Thanks again. x x

I think this site is a most wonderful concept that reaches out and provides a shoulder for people from all walks of life with all different stories to tell. I am currently working with a number of families involved in a multiple Coronial inquest who have all lost loved ones to suicide - the youngest being only 16 - and the failure of the mental health system. Their stories are not at all unsimilar to some of yours on this forum. As a consequence of my career choice, I am currently suffering from depression from "jobs" that I have attended and things that I have seen, and am still to this day trying to fight my way out of it. I know full well through my work what families left behind experience and it is with this knowledge that I am trying to help them through.

I lost my beautiful husband three years ago to suicide and will never be the same again. So lovely to finally come across something special that understands this "forbidden" topic

What would be really nice to see is some non religious based (i.e. Non 12 steps) addiction recovery services. What about those of us who do not beleive in fairy tales like religion?

I visited your site nearly 3 years ago when my nephw hung himself, and everything I found helped me deal with my loss, I am revisiting this site because 2 of my friends have just lost loved ones from suicide, I needed to revisit this site to find peace again. I have told them about this site and I hope that they find the peace that i found
