Suicide

My 16 Yr old daughter took her own life nearly 2 weeks ago at our home. She did this because of long term bullying she endured and got no help. I’m keeping very busy as my fiancee and me have launched a campaign kibis memory in the hope we can make some big changes that will prevent


another family and young person experiencing this pain. I’m worried that when all the media attention quietens down, I’m going to completely fall apart.

I’m so sorry for your loss, this is so tragic. How heartbreaking for you. :heart: she looks like a beautiful girl. It’s possible you will fall apart, but I think that’s ok in a sense, you’ve lost your young daughter. Life isn’t the same after. I hope you will have support around you. It’s great that you are doing something positive in her honour and that might help you a bit. Take all the support you can get, and take care of yourself as best you can. Hugs xx

I’m so sorry that you are going through this, my daughter took her life in June. She was 17. Each day is different. Tbh I feel numb inside still, just on a treadmill daily of emotional pain.

My son took his own life in June this year. He was 33 and a soldier in the army. He had a great career and had just been promoted to Sergeant. He just could not find happiness in his personal life. I have little family support and have been off work since. I feel my life too has ended. The grief is more than I can deal with. The guilt too is horrendous as I feel I should have done more. People think it’s like losing a parent but it’s on another level. You not only grieve their loss but you also grieve the life they didn’t have. I do not know how anyone gets through this. My heart goes out to everyone going through this.

Thank you for your message Elaine. I’m so sorry you lost your child too. I am getting counselling although I feel so alone. The club that no-one wants to be in. Every day is so hard. I have so many regrets. I just feel like I don’t want to go on.
