Hi Alffe,

This couldn't be closer to the truth. Its difficult for some of my family to talk directly about my Uncle's suicide, but we have to go there and talk openly about what we feel and how we meet each day. My Mum and Dad are so lovely but the elephant in the room scenario would persist if I didn't challenge some of the denial.

This doesn't mean I bring up the tragic circumstances every time we speak. However, acknowledging what has happened is the only way to keep supporting each other with our feelings and emotions.

Hope this makes sense.
