National Strategy for Suicide Prevention

"The suffering of the suicidal is private and inexpressible, leaving family members, friends, and colleagues to deal with an almost unfathomable kind of loss, as well as guilt. Suicide carries in its aftermath a level of confusion and devastation that is, for the most part, beyond description."
Jamison, K .R.(1999) Night falls fast*Understanding suicide (p. 24). NY: Alfred A. Knopf.
