Sad ! We had a suicide of a young person in our family many years ago and it just never goes away!

What did we miss? If we had only got there 5 minutes sooner. Why didn't we see the signs? Were there any signs?
Why? Why? Why?

It usually very well-hidden. Teenagers get very little affirmation. That's key at that age. The best defense is a good offense.

I am sorry about the grief your family went through.

From what I heard reported, (and it was only ONCE), the Dungy boy had tried and obviously failed at committing suicide back in October.

I don't know what was so tragic in his life, that he felt he couldn't bear to live, but if he did try to take his life in October, there were "signs".

For the record, I am NOT assigning blame. The fact he felt death would be better than living, upsets me beyond words.

WHY? Only those closest to him would know this.
