We are called to care for, support and provide for all those who struggle. Suicide is a devastating tragedy which should be prevented as much and as often as we can. Understanding the warning signs of suicide, together with good care and treatment, is truly life-saving. We must also support and accompany those left behind, who suffer greatly and need real care, support and accompaniment, along with our prayers. The tragedy of suicide should demand the best of any Christian community. A deeply compassionate and understanding response is essential.
