Hi just like to say what a wonderful site to be able to come and share like this. I lost my only son to suicide on the 19 Oct 2006. He was only 20. He had hung himself and I found him. I think that was the hardest thing i have ever had to do. He had lived with a mental illness for about 5 years that was drug induced. I watched him suffer and go through so much pain & torment but I couldnt seem to help him enough...He was hearing voices and could not bear to be in this life anymore cause the pain was too great for him. He mentioned it was like he was on the road to insanity. I miss him so much and I think the hardest thing about losing him is that i will never see my sweet boy again or be able to hug him and tell him I love him. I felt so sad that I never picked up the signs that he was going to take his life. I suppose one thing I think of now is that he is at peace and in a better place. I believe he is with me and thats why I can keep on going.....I know he would want his mum to be happy. I miss my boy soo much. I would just like to say, thank you for sharing your stories. Its nice to feel your not alone and that other people do understand...

The personal stories on here are some of the most moving and honest I have read. As a sufferer of severe anxiety and sometimes depression, my heart aches for those driven to suicide, as I know how much life can hurt those with damaged souls, and I live for the day when people can get the emotional support they need, and families left behind don't feel guilty because they 'missed something'.

I CAME UPON YOUR SIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT GROUPS FOR VICTIMS LEFT BEHIND BY SUICIDE. ONE OF MY DEAREST FRIEND 17YO SON SHOT HIMSELF ON 9/30/06 I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH ATTEMPTS TO GIVE MY FRIEND COMFORT AND HELP HER DEAL WITH THE PAIN.. MY FRIEND IS NO ON MEDICATION AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH LIFE AFTER SUICIDE AND GO ON BEING A WIFE AND MOTHER TO THE SON THAT IS STILL LIVING.. JUST A FRIEND TRYING TO HELP A FRIEND

thankyou for your website. reading all the stories have really touched me. about half an hour ago i really wanted to end my life. i suppose you could say i was drawn to the internet to find an easy way to do it, but instead it has effectively changed my mind and made me think more of the long view of life and the effects that i did not have time to think about. thanks

Just a thankyou to everyone involved in thsi organisation and similar ones. I was walking through Victoria Square in Adelaide on October 13th 2006 and witnessed the display of White Wreaths representing suicides in Aus, this touched me deeply and i thought to myself...that could've been me 3 months ago... Much love and respect, Amelia.
