SUICIDE The pain of being bereaved by suicide is one of loss, helplessness, fear, guilt, trauma, gut-wrenching confusion for all that was left unsaid and undone, and endless questions, unasked, unanswered and unknown. Where did we fail this person? What could we still have done? What should we have noticed? What messages did the person give us that we missed? Could we have prevented this tragic waste of life? The reasons for suicide are numerous but whatever occasions that very final moment of life and consequently blocks out the light of hope, will ultimately remain a mystery. Suicide is indeed a complex and terrible phenomenon. We pray that those who contemplate it may find reasons to live; but we also remember and pray for those whose friends or family members have been driven to taking their own lives.
