There is not a moment that goes by when my own mother’s suicide is not in my thoughts. Though the immediate trauma has faded, anyone who has been in a similar situation will understand that the questions endure, the anger and frustration occasionally bubble to the surface.
Last Monday I awoke to the news that someone I know in Australia had taken their life – very unexpectedly and without any apparent reason. Needless to say, those around him are devastated, racking their brains for apparent reasons, wishing that they could have foreseen it coming.
It brought back distressing memories but made me think about how lucky I was to be surrounded by people that supported and cared for me afterwards.
