 Suicide
“Oh my lovely young one
When you took leave last night
You offered me no teardrops, no kisses, no goodbyes
No simple explanation as you walked out the door
Leaving Tir Na nOg for Tir Na nOiche”
Christy Moore.
 Suicide is one of those subjects that many of us feel uncomfortable discussing. If you're the one feeling suicidal, you may be afraid that you'll be judged or labelled "crazy" if you open up. Or maybe you're just convinced that no one could possibly understand. It's not much easier for concerned friends and family members, who may hesitate to speak up for fear that they're wrong or that they'll say the wrong thing.
The important thing to understand is that feeling suicidal is not a character defect, and it doesn't mean that a person is crazy, or weak, or flawed. It only means that the person has more pain than they feel capable of coping with. But help is out there. Talking openly about suicidal thoughts and feelings can save a life. So don't wait: reach out.
Suicide is no longer hidden under a veil of secrecy and more and more people are struggling to come to terms with this life changing subject. The key point here is that people no longer have to go through this alone.
I compare suicide to a ‘school yard bully’ the bully retains the power over you with the continuing secrecy of his or her existence. They disappear like snow in the sunshine when they are ‘talked about’ and the secret power is gone, the relief is life changing and life making.
