Suicide, grief and trauma is a word everyone is familiar with. something I’ve particular had to live with from a young age.
A high school friend going home to north WA taking his life found at a tree, A father taking his life followed by his daughter and then the mother, a 18 year old found in a driveway while sit I in a pool in Malaysia, a life long friend/family found in his car, a soon to be father with a new born on the way half way through his 30’s, a young man I’m only told stories of bound to a wheel chair I’ll never meet before I was born and a near miss here and a near miss there lucky to still be around because someone of something was able to help bring purpose why you still belong here.
I’m not exactly sure of the number now over the last 12 months but it’s between 29-34 Yamaji’s that have decided his world is too much for them now. Look after everyone around you even if there is something there holding you apart.
