They say things happen in threes
Welcome to my blog. This is my second attempt at writing, and I am going to try to stick to it now.
It has been a strange week. A friend lost a sibling to suicide, and she is devastated as you can imagine. What can you say?
Suicide is one of the most complicated forms of grief,for those who are left behind, who are left constantly asking why it happened, and looking at all the ways in which they could have prevented it from happening.
For anyone out there who is in this situation there is a support group, which is really useful that I discovered.
The Survivors of suicide bereavment support group.
Here is some further reading for those of you who are interested, if you can stomach it!
The suicidal mind by Edwin Shneidman
It is an academic text but very useful.
The rest of my week has been spent trying to dodge dog poo, and I have not found it amusing. Why is it that the dog owners, cannot pick up after their dogs??????
Have a great week.
