Thank you ginnie for your concern what i wrote in this thread happened a long time ago...and time is a great healer.

my reason for writing it was to allow a conversation to take place about the STIGMA of SUICIDE

If we talk more about our feelings then the escalation of inner pain may be reduced or even curtailed.

My colleague at work has recently lost her son and her life is raw the ELEPHANT is deffinately in her life at present.

the saddest thing is when this tradgedy strikes people need to talk..but.not everyone wants to listen...........some cant even bring themselves to offer condolence in fear of being embeded in a conversation that they can't cope with.........[the survivor then feels isolaated even more]

talking is the answer........
