Items Tagged With “Suicide”

On June 4, 2005, my world was forever changed when I lost my 24-year-old brother, Blaine, to suicide. He left behind three sisters, his mother and countless friends and family. My big brother-- my rock, my protector--was gone.

After losing one of my best friends, Jason Klefisch, to suicide in June 2018, I was left with a type of grief I had never experienced before. 

My story starts when I’m twenty-six years old and thinking about dying — actually, I’m not being entirely truthful. I’m about to attempt suicide in my bedroom in New York City.

It started out like any other Saturday morning, but one phone call changed everything...forever.
