I think one of the saddest things one can see is the transformation in the eyes of a child who goes through tragedy.  This change was quite clear in my sister’s eyes, and I’ll never forget that. My sister was an accident, to say the least.  The cult wanted my parents to have only two [...]

Not too long ago, I made a decision to end my life.  It was several months in the making, as it were.  I wrote a note to my best friend, gave him a ring that I wanted him to have as a memory, went home, and took a month’s worth of psych meds.  It wasn’t [...]

One by one they fell like dominoes, She by her own hand. The fundamental loss. Twelve years old and she’d had enough. Her body limp and bleeding, Cold flesh I’ll always remember. ~ He fell next.

Yesterday I spoke with my therapist about my sister’s suicide for the first time.  I left the session absolutely exhausted.  Today, I’m in a daze.  I feel like I’m existing outside of time.  I feel very afraid.  My life is stuck in the day my sister died, and I recently figured out that I won’t [...]

This post is about suicide linked to SRA and is a bit graphic.  If you are a survivor of SRA, please take care in reading this and stop if you feel triggered. My younger sister took her life on 7 December 2000, three days after her 12th birthday.  That day is etched in my memory.  [...]

I’ve always had this sort of fatalistic resignation to the fact that I will eventually die from suicide.  I’m not at all suicidal at the moment.  The subject of suicide just flitted through my mind a minute ago and reminded me of this.  Maybe it’s because my mother and sister died from suicide, but something [...]
