If you have lost someone to suicide, the first thing you should know is
that you are not alone.
Each year over 36,000 people in the United
States die by suicide -- the devastated family and friends they leave
behind are known as "survivors." There are millions of survivors who,
like you, are trying to cope with this heartbreaking loss.
If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please read and share this letter from Mary Deem, as posted in the Lake Norman Citizen, and get help right away. Thank you, Mary, for your heartfelt words and honestly. We are so glad that you're here.
