"Probably one of the most unnatural acts in the human lexicon is the taking of one's own life. It leaves a trail of human wreckage that seems to spread like the ripples in a body of still water disturbed by a stone. Family and friends are left to ponder the obvious questions, as well as to pick up the pieces. Fortunately, in our modern society we have begun to build upon the success of such groups as Alcoholics Anonymous and the idea that individuals with similar experiences can find common ground and help one another to heal. So it is with the suicide of a loved one. There is a myriad of assistance for those left behind in the form of various media and support communities. But what happens to those of us whose loved ones have tried, often repeatedly , to take their own lives and were unsuccessful? Where do we turn? How do we find peace when we are unable to grieve, but also unable to rest emotionally from the pain that accompanies the knowledge that it will most likely happen again? . . . We are unable to move forward, unable to grieve, unable to find peace. We are truly between life and death." By: John Hudak
