Vickie: I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy. But part of the thing is that sometimes you cannot predict that the young person would do this kind of thing. I had my 1st suicide attempt at 15 & I don't believe I gave any signs other than I had a very dysfunctional family life (& I was drinking a lot to try to blot out my emotions).

Recently co-worker's grandson (19) committed suicide recently & I gave her booklet that had lots of resources but now I don't know where the heck it was poublished! Some people came to speak to out support group & handed them out. My mother also committede suicide so I guess I have it from both angles. It is truly devastating to those left...

Take care...
Thanks for this!
