Yesterday, April 1, 2010, a very sweet friend of mine, Breanna Levine, made a serious and grave decision to take her own life. I have never experienced the emotions of losing a dear friend to suicide before. It was similar to experiencing a strong earthquake, completely unpredictable and extremely traumatizing. But when I think about it, was it that unpredictable? How exactly does anyone know when their loved ones are crying for help? How can you identify a friend's deep depression? If you or anyone you know is extremely depressed please go to this Suicide Prevention Link to find out information on how you can help someone who is in need of a friend. Many times no one even suspects their friend's secret sorrow. Many times no one hears their cries for help. It is soooo important to be available to our loved ones, and to listen to each others' spoken and unspoken words.

Thanks for posting this. I like to believe that if people knew how much they were loved, they might decide to stick around. So sorry for your loss.
