EASTER



Easter! We have lost loved ones to suicide and now it is Easter. A day to rejoice, to celebrate - a festive day of family, friends, faith and food. And as we gather, nicely dressed. around the dining room table to delight in a banquet filled with joy and laughter - someone is missing.

Someone we loved freely, profoundly and unconditionally is not sitting at the table - but is resting quietly within our soul. A day of happiness is shaded in silent sadness and sorrow - and tender tears seep softly from our hearts. We may feel alone but we are surrounded, embraced, by those who love us and we love. It is Easter and we will persevere and survive.

We are family and may we find some peace this day.

Their minds will ache in brutal pain as they abandon all hope of a peaceful life. Their lives will be spent wandering wearily, not knowing where they are or where they are going - because their life ended with ...

A LOVED ONE'S SUICIDE: WHAT IF?

  What if? Two simple words, but if you have lost a loved one to suicide - those two words, "what if," can torture and torment you relentlessly and endlessly. What if he talked to me, what if she called me, what if I stayed home, what if I called to say hello, what if I invited her out to lunch, what if I stopped by his apartment - what if? What if...two words that leave you trapped to a past you cannot change, cannot escape. And that is the life you now have to live - and as time passes and you slowly move on, there will be moments when you reflect back in time and ask yourself, what if? - as I do. What if I had joined Anne for breakfast on that Sunday morning - would she had sat on the banks of the Hillsborough River with a gun in her hand on Monday afternoon? What if?
