The Suicide Grief Support Forum is a public message board, an outreach project of the Parents of Suicides (POS) and Friends and Families of Suicides (FFOS) Internet Communities. The forum officially began on October 2, 2002. Our mission is to provide information, support and comfort to anyone whose life has been touched by the suicide of another person. Connecting with others who have walked the same road can sometimes make a difference in how we survive a tragedy that may be incomprehensible. The board is monitored by special volunteers who give freely of their time in memory of the people they lost to suicide. We do not pretend to be professionals, and we encourage anyone whose needs are greater than can be met here to seek out professional help.

Thank you for posting the link to this article Hugz22. As difficult as it sometimes is to read yet one more story of a family agrieved by suicide, it gives me hope that the awareness level of the world will change, and with the change will come a lessening of the stigma.

It was heart breaking when the news came out that this precious girl was only 14 years old when she died. But the strenght and courage of the family is uplifting for all those who have lost someone to suicide. Chosing to go public with the news of their loss, starting campaigns and awarness. I really admire their hard work and determination. It's a long road, but it does not hadve to be travelled alone.
