When a family member commits suicide, the entire family is plunged into confusion and grief. Life is instinctually valued by all of life's creatures. Even a blade of grass or flower fights for the privilege of life. When someone close to you voluntarily ends their lives, your entire value system is thrown into question. Family members may also be consumed with guilt, thinking that they somehow should have seen the signs that led to the individual's suicide. Group therapy with others who have experienced this trauma as well as individual therapy may be necessary to help cope.
If you could have seen the devastation,
shattered hearts you'd leave behind,

I laughed; you joked.
I was down; you picked me up.
I crumbled; you glued me back together.

Would you have taken it that day?
Could I have made you feel better?
Could I have made you okay?

The moment you took your life,
I felt mine ended too.
If I could only turn back time,
there's so much I would undo.

You come to me crying, saying it's done,
That life is pointless, I shouldn't have one.
I tell you to stop, I beg and I plead.
This poem is the poem my friend sent me when I was debating taking my life. This poem saved my life, literally. Thank you!
He was the geeky kid, carrying all of his books,
That became a scientist who found the cure for the disease that overtook.
She was the quiet one, who was afraid no one would listen to what she had to say,

Sometimes I just wish I could run away and hide.
No matter where I go though, these feelings stay inside.
How can I stay here and live each day a lie,
When all I want to do is close my eyes and die?
Please don't run and hide. It sounds like you are hurting inside. Please be strong and try to talk to someone about how you are feeling. You are worth it you are not useless or worthless. You...
I know you're in heaven dancing and free
but there's so much more you should be here to see.
So many things I never got to say
