I can no longer count the number of friends and family that have committed suicide on one hand.
The pain in knowing i’ll never see these people again is the biggest emotional hurt. I can no longer see their beautiful smiles or hear their voices. I’d like to share one particular suicide which I learned a lot from.
I was 15 at the time. Only 15. We stayed over at a friends house after a party along with many other people. I woke up in the morning to find one of my gorgeous, lovely and amazing friends having hung herself off the deck. To this day the images of her body haunt me. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about her, or wonder how I could’ve saved her. She was such a wonderful girl and it’s sad to see someone so bright burn out so young.
I miss you Jess, and I always will. I’ll never forget you.
