Suicide is an involuntary outcome of suffering caused by pain.
Becoming suicidal is a process and those who complete suicide are victims. This site is for suicide survivors and others who want to know more about suicide. Help may be found at a suicide prevention and crisis center, local mental health association, or through clergy. We want to assist you in your effort to improve yourself, your family, and your community. Spirit, Mind, Body.
