Politician receives daily calls from Irish people contemplating suicide

Two previous acquaintences took their own lives. It's virtually impossible to know what's going on for people. Many people just detach from the outside and turn inwards, unable to articulate their problems. Sometimes psychotherapists of varying descriptions try very controversial tactics to confront the ego of their patients, alas sometimes to tragic effect.

So sorry for your loss. My nephew died by suicide in late July in Ireland. He was my sister's only child. He left a wife and three young sons, a multitude of broken hearts, physiological grief and so many "Whys". There was a family wedding two weeks later, yes, it was very difficult. As with all tragic events comes some good, to see the family and friends support, everyone lending a shoulder to cry on, financial help and offers of continued support and help was great solace. Don't know if the parents will ever come to terms with it, his wife and children are getting counselling and hopefully young enough to move forward. God Bless you and your family, you will be in my prayers.

Sorry for your loss, Portia777.

Try Dr Harry Barry- he will tell you to hurry up and get it over with as he did to me re my son.
