The family left behind

I think this resource is worth posting. I found it very enlightening as the aftermath is I'm sure something we all consider. I hope some might find it useful.

I forgot to say, this link in no way tries to moralise or deliver a message. It is real life stories which are sometimes very moving and also go into topics which are very rarely discussed.

Thank you for posting it.

I found it very useful when I was coming to terms with my suicidal idealisation. There is a lot to take away from reading it.

I think the place of such thing is in the Recovery section, not here.

Thank you, William. I think it is important to consider the aftermath, even though I believe in a person's right to die on their own terms. Sudden deaths through accident or heart attack or violence will always take their toll on family/ friends, but with suicide it's probably more traumatic.

We need to destigmatize the topic, so that it can be discussed openly without risk of being thrown into the "bin." . There is progress, with the passage of MAID legislation in the United States, but it's limited in scope. Canada is doing better. Until I have cancer it will be hard topic to bring up with my family.
