Those left behind die a thousand deaths, trying to relive those terrible moments and understand… why? Sometimes people who commit suicide are not fully aware or are in such a dark place that they don’t consider that taking their own life will create a huge amount of pain for their loved-ones left behind. Imagine how you would feel if a person you care deeply about took their own life. It’s difficult to recover from the death of a loved one, but it’s usually harder if the individual committed suicide. The act of suicide leaves people behind with unanswered questions and feelings of confusion and shame, as well as the guilt around being able to prevent the suicide. “If You Love Anyone Here Is What You Have To Say” If you want to show me that you really love me, don’t say that you would die for me, instead stay alive for me.

People who are feeling suicidal can often feel like they are a burden to their loved ones, which is not the case.
