Wow. Glad you wore that shirt, too. My best friend attempted suicide over 13 years ago. Although the attempt failed I have felt guilty ever since. I was too distracted, too busy, etc. Reality is, although she survived she ended life as she knew it. My heart breaks for all those so desperate to leave this world. Hugs to all the survivors.
What an important, profound post. Sharing the pain experienced by those close to people who die by suicide just might help someone thinking of harming themselves to change their mind, and give survivors an opening to talk about their suffering. Thank you.
You have such a big heart, V, and it really comes through in every word you write. If you ever want to have a mini-memorial for your brother and sister I am here to help.
oh, V! thank you for sharing your journey and vulnerability - T shirts are powerful connectors!
