Suicides Shock Community

I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world Vancouver Island. We were all shocked last week when three young people took their lives.

Authorities thought at first this had to be a suicide pact, but the deaths appear to be unrelated. While investigating the deaths of the three young men 15, 18, 20 there seemed to be no evidence found as yet linking the three.

Vancouver Island is as large as some states in the U.S. but I was shocked to learn that on average there are two suicides per week here.

We have to learn to recognize when our loved ones are in trouble and find help for them. My heart breaks for our young people today they have so much more to contend with then the generations of the past.
