Have You Been Touched By Suicide? As a Result, Would You Want to Make a Difference in the Lives of Others?

I remember my introduction to the idea of suicide. I was a child and my sweet, senior adult neighbor committed suicide. I was so confused, asking many of the “why?” questions others ask. One of the struggles those left behind deal with is the sense of sheer helplessness. Yet, some of taken their helplessness and turned it around to provide help for others.
