My Story…

My sister Vicki, my only sibling, died by suicide when I was just a kid. She was 10 years my elder and I wasn’t old enough to be aware of her mental health struggles. Her suicide became an undiscussable among family and friends. I wore this immense shame like a shawl that I couldn’t take off for much of my life. I felt so alone with my grief. I assumed no one could possibly understand what I felt. I am a big supporter of the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto (DCGT) because of the vital services it provides to prevent suicide and for the support it provides to survivors. As a volunteer, I know first hand the huge impact of these services. A participant in the Suicide Survivor Program recently said : 'Thank you for taking me to the places I needed to go. It was truly a lifeline.' This sentiment is echoed by so many who have benefited from the unique services. I hope you will consider making a contribution to support these vital support services.
