Welcome MandiMae...this is a description of who we are...Who are we? And why do we hang out here?

Some of us have lost a loved one to suicide...some of us are feeling so crushed by life that we want it to end.

We come together for support..we count on each other to pick us up, dust us off and give us a reason to try some more.

We don't judge people in this forum and we ask not to be judged ourselves.
When you share here, we promise to listen with our hearts.

All are welcome...

You have come to the right place and I'm so glad you found us.

We lost our only son to suicide many years ago and it changed our family forever...we survived it but are not the same people we were. I've learned that some people say very stupid things while trying to help...they don't know what to say because suicide is such a conversation stopper. I had a ministers wife tell me that Michael (our son) went "straight to hell"....that really wasn't very helpful.

I'm so glad you didn't act on those thoughts and are here to share.
