Saving A Life From Suicide
Many people, most of all those who knew and loved him, have great difficulty understanding how Dave, such a well-loved family man, could have committed suicide. In fact, it was simply inconceivable to many. Part of the mission of Hold My Hand Grief Support is to provide information about suicide, resources for help, and deeply important to KC and her kids, to dispel the stigma and myths surrounding depression to enable those who are suffering from it to seek help.
As a first step, we've included signs in men that can often be missed because they are not generally associated as being part of depression -- many of which Dave was displaying before his death.
If we can stop even one person from making a forever choice, all will not be lost.
