Jamie's wedding day was only a month away. After shock I was one of the relatives Jamie had tried to contact. With others in my family, I was stunned and devastated. I had dismissed her moods as something temporary that would lift once she remarried. I was wrong.
Suicide is one of the most tragic and misunderstood deeds many families face.
They never really know what was in the person's heart and mind. They can't ask questions or say goodbye. In these days it's easy for someone to pull a trigger or inhale deadly fumes, devastating and confusing those left behind. The good news is that suicide is preventable. You can help save a person's life if you understand the reasons people choose suicide, the warning signs, and the action to take.
