Suicide Prevention

In Honor of Suicide Prevention Month

Suicide of a loved one is one the hardest wounds and pain that a person can go through in life. As many of you know, my oldest brother Tom took his life 25 years ago – 25 years later and I still think about and miss him every day. One of the toughest aspects of suicide are thoughts of ‘Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda’: What if…? What if I did this…? What if I didn’t do that…? I should have… Why didn’t I…? Maybe, if I had… … etc. And like many other facets of life, grief is a process that ebbs and flows… one day you feel on top of the world and on another you feel like a basket-case… hearts take time to heal, and some days we need to lean more on others who can relate… who will listen without judgment and offer support without expectations… And to those who feel there is no way out, but by death – there is always a better way, a reason to live, someone who loves you more than you could ever realize… In memory of every life lost by Suicide...
