Welcome to our page, Beautiful Souls. Hello, this is Tina, David Dills sister. I want to send you a big hug and a warm greeting to our page. Thank you for being here and taking time to like, share from and visit our page. We have had so many new faces join our page family. Our family lost my brother, David by suicide in January of 2000 at the age of 34. His suicide has been the most traumatic life event we have had to learn to cope with. Many of you here also have been impacted by a dear loved ones suicide or you have survived your own attempt like me. So many grieving souls bruised by traumatic loss of suicide. My heart aches deeply for your loss. Still many others here on our page are struggling with depression and other mental illnesses. None of you are alone. People who have walked the road of depression and suicide loss have compassion for those who are hurting. Let me hold your hand in mine and be ears for you to have someone to talk to. I know I cannot fix your hurts, but from my own experience with finding healing from depression and my brother Davids suicide , I felt terribly alone and lost with gut wrenching pain. I found out that I was not alone with my grief. Having had the opportunity to attend support groups was an invaluable asset for me. To know another person would allow me the opportunity to tell my sorrow and them listening with devotional compassion made a huge and dramatic difference in learning to cope with Davids death. People in communities all over the world are suffering emotional pain at this very moment. The stigma surrounding mental health needs to be taken into the light and education is what will make change. No one would ever judge or blame a person who becomes ill with cancer or other medical conditions and becoming ill with depression or a mental illness is also something a person can not help. Mental health is just as important as our medical health. I am outraged at the lack of understanding there is for people with mental illnesses. The media needs to educate themselves so when they discuss suicide, they stop fueling the stigma by using insensitive language like saying : Committed Suicide and giving thoughtless gory details of someone death by suicide. I ask you to consider this with an open mind. Do people who die by cancer get blamed for being sick? Do people say when a loved one dies by cancer that they COMMITTED CANCER? No, of course they do not say that. People will say, a loved one died by cancer or died of cancer. So when someone takes their life, that person Died By Suicide. Thinking of you and holding you in my heart. Remember that I LOVE YOU. Tina
