Derek committed suicide a long time ago now but I still love him so much. I just wondered if anybody else has been through this, be nice to become friends. Derek was my ex boyfriend and we spoke 3 weeks before it happened. That conversation will stick with me. I am a Christian and now I know it is time to give Derek back to his Heavenly Father and just hope that one day I will see him again. Love you always Derek. From Elaine xx
RE: Suicide
Wow! OMG! All I see and hear is the pain will never , never go away. How in the world do we move on.
RE: Suicide
The pain will always be there but as time goes on it will become more bearable. They will always have that special place in our hearts but if we look around ourselves and see the loved ones that we still have here on earth, then we know that together we will all make it ok. There will always be someone ready to reach out to us to lend that listening ear and that helping hand. To be there for us 24/7 and never complain when all we want is a shoulder to cry on. His name is Jesus and He is there just waiting for our call for help. God Bless. xx

RE: Suicide
Susan My heart weeps for you and your family. I understand that your heart will always be broken. I have said the same thing over and over. All we can do for now is mend what we can for survival. Everyone should stress the heartaches and pains and trauma that we all suffer from suicide. WE should shout it to the world so no one ever has to experinece this pain that we must endure for the rest of our lives. I hate suicide. I hate what it has done to my life, to his sisters life, to his parents life, to his neice and nephews life and to his friends lives. I sat beside his best friend as he weeped tears of sorrow and all I could do was hug him and sry along with him. Somehow we must stop people from commiting suicde.
RE: Suicide
Hi
Reading all these posts brought tears to my eyes. I can relate to all that has been said. Suicide is like any other death as it leaves those left behind feeling so many feelings of guilt, & belief that you let your loved one down.
We lost our beautiful son Dan at the age of 19. No warnings, He hung himself in our home whilst we were out shopping. We have been left devasted but determined that we would speak out about our experience in the hope that it helps or prevents 1 person going through what our family have. After Dan's death we teamed up with Samaritans & raised over £49,000 which was given to the Samaritans in the North Eastern region. We have started all over again & we are in the process of starting up a charity that will offer emotional & practical support for those effected by SUicide. We are also going into Schools & hoping to get into colleges unis etc to work on Suicide prevention. We are also currently working with the police in training. We want & need to do so much more.
Suicide was something that happened to other people. To people who had no one to talk to, no family. People that had no hope, certainly not my family. HOW WRONG & MIS GUIDED I WAS.
I have learned the hard way. I WOULD really love to hear from anyone if you think the charity is a good idea & what your experience was with regards to the support you received. My email address is shirley.ksmith@btinternet.com. My sons memorial site is Daniel O'Hare.
If you are reading this after losing a loved one & finding it hard then please drop me a line.
RE: Suicide
Hi, In my partners memorial i put cause of death as undisclosed. The main reason for this is that we will never know. After he past all round our town was that he commited suicide,that was very hard to hear. I found him and simply don,t believe that. At the inquest a verdict of misadventure was giving. At times we all do things without thinking, unfortunately this was one of those times for him. Sadly its not something he can now put right. If you know a person so much that you think they could never take there own life, then your proberly right.

RE: Suicide
TODAY IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY. TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES THROUGH SUICIDE, YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS. LOVE SHIRLEYX
RE: Suicide
My sisters death was recorded as accidental death
the coroner said she didnt leave a suicide note he didn't think she intended to take her own life but with past history he recorded an open verdict which is something we wanted him to do and we dont think she intended to take her own life that night.
