My son Daniel suicided august 2007. He was 34. He suffered this dreaded depression. His life was clouded with darkness for some time. He was an extremely bright and talented man and loved by so many. As I read through the entries in this guest book, one realises that this is the new age epidemic. So many sad and now depressed loved ones. Death is not what hurts us, it's that crazy thing that all of us call love.

Daniel may you now rest. Loved by your precious son Jackson. A road too rough to follow, a hill too steep to climb

It has been just over six months since I lost my 18 year old eldest son to suicide. I am struggling big time at the moment just with trying to learn to get through everyday without him. Matt was the last person anyone would have expected to do this as he had such a vitality for life. You would hear his big laugh before you would even see him. He was loved by myself and his dad and his four little brothers and he knew this. He had the best friends and they all cherished his friendship. He called everybody 'bro' and he was considered 'brother' to his mates as well has his brothes. He lost what he thought was the love of his life and this destroyed him. My boy was such a happy soul and everyone who knew him loved him. I know that he is with us all the time and have to hang on to that thought as it unbearable to think anything else. I don't know how but we are just managing to get out of bed everyday and we are trying to live our life without him being physically with us in body. We all miss him so much. Thank you for this website so that I can share my thoughts and help me get through yet another day without my baby. For those contemplating committing suicide, things can only get better and you are not just hurting yourself, but your family and friends will be absolutely devasted if you go along this road. Just think of the pain that you are leaving all those who love you. I can tell you from experience that there is nothing in this world that is more painful than losing your child that you created. Please think very strongly and seek help if you have these thoughts. You have so much to live for if you just look around and appreciate those who love and cherish you.

On feburary 19th 2007, i lost my beautiful, smart sister...she took her own life. That morning she had sent me a text, made plans to see me the following thursday...i sent a text back. Later that morning she overdosed, lay on her bed and waited to die. This was her second try, the first time i found her...i wish i had phoned her back, spoken to her. It's just passed her 6mth anniversary...we finally got to do her ashes last week. I hate the emotional roller coaster, i hate the way the memories just come up and the pain is just as intense. Anyway this is my first visit here.
