Light a Candle for a Loved One




At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter,
We remember them.

At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring,
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer,
We remember them.

At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn,
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make,
We remember them
When we have achievements that are based on theirs,
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are a part of us, as we remember them.

~ From Best Friend Madie, Jane Dory, Hanson & all who loved you

Taylor Hanson once said that, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world." To LiLi, Hanson was a world where pain didn't exist. They helped her survive. They may have never known her; may have never even known her name. Yet they knew she was there, and she will remain in their memories forever. And she will remain with me and those who knew her, throughout eternity.

"The People you touch/ The way you've touched them/ I hope they've touched you too"

-Hanson from "Dying To Be Alive"
1982 - 2000

To the best boyfriend I ever had who showed me how to trust. I will always remember him the guy with a great personality, and not the guy who left me behind. May he rest in peace.

Tough but alone
He took his life
with a bullet.
If only he'd have known
He was far from being alone.
Ian Wilkinson Taleah Zeek
2000

He was always there for others, that was his life but he hid his hurt from all of us, his wife and, his child and to the end himself and could never relate to it. How his goodness could lead to him feeling bad - was his energy just a cover up to his reality, we will never know. They say he was crazy and try to put inane reasons to why he did it but we will never know the true reason.
January, 1983 - April, 1999

You were my best friend. I love you and always will. I miss you tons.
June 10, 1982 - February 6, 2001

He was one of the nicest and most considerate guys I have ever known. He was always crying out for help, but I didn't know what to do. I tried talking to him about it during a class we had together. I saw the cuts on his arm, I didn't know. I know what he felt now, now that it's too late. I would like to say that I love you Jared, and that we all miss you...I wish we could have done that duet together, this would be the year.
Wade J. Princess Diana AJ
November 2, 1974 - January 3, 2000

My brother started everything from a very young age: anorexia, self-injury, the journal that he left behind. He suffered for more than ten years, until he took his own life at the age of twenty-six.
July 1, 1961 - August 31, 1997

Princess Di was killed in an automobile accident in 1997. She will always be remembered, and loved. "The Queen Of Hearts". Who gave hope to self-injurers everywhere...even a princess can suffer in pain. May she rest in peace.
July 13, 1982 - August 17, 2000

I am sorry that you felt that hurting yourself was the only way out. For many of us, that is the way. But when you come back you will face the same difficulties you left behind. So just be prepared for that.
Stephen Sarah Hanley Nicole
August 2000

I remember so much about him, but mostly his wrists. But I remember his smile, his laugh, his jokes, and the way he always gave me a hug.

Andrea, I loved you. You were my best friend.

Never have I had a friend who knew what I was going through like you did. We shared our stories of self-injury together and laughed, but only because we were tired of the pain and seriousness of it all. I'll never forget the feeling I felt when I was told you died, and the last time I saw you alive. You were a beautiful person Andrea, despite the anorexia and the SIing. Nothing could stop making your eyes glow bright when something pleased you.

I miss you.

Richey James Edwards Ben garret evans
December 22, 1967 - unknown (went missing February 1, 1995)

Whether you chose to go by 'Richey James' or 'Richey Manic', we always knew who you were and what you were for. People called you vulgar for displaying your self-hate, and we called you generous for sharing it and teaching us just how hard it can be.

We suffer just like you did. Some more and some less, but we all know how it is.

We've suffered for you and because of you. Most important of all, we've suffered with you.

The world stopped turning for us when you ran off that February day. We take a few hours every year on that day to mourn your loss. Not because you were a celebrity and it was our duty as loyal fans, but because we respect and miss you.

You've made your mark, Richey. You've made your mark on everyone who touched the NME and on us, and we love you for it.
Unknown

Ben, I didn't know you very well, but you were a great guy. You were my cuz! I love you I miss you.. I feel your pain

"As Nick grew older, the obstacles in his life were no longer fences or walla or trees. And the young lion cub knew not which predators to avoid. His curiosity and fearless attitude blinded him from the true dangers that lay in wait for him around every corner and in the deepest part of his heart"- his obituary

He was only 14 and only knew how to show his fun loving, happy side, he didnt know how to deal with the emotions after his father died. He being trying self-injury and drugs to numb his pain threatening suicide. No one that knew took him seriously or knew how to help him. I realize he wasn't the only one like that hiding the pain and problems with a smile. I just wish he didn't have to die befor we could learn how serious depression can be.

October 7, 1953 - September 7, 2000

Dearest Uncle, I forgive you, even if no one else can. You were my hero, my Perfect Man. I always said I would marry a man like you. I still will. You begged for help, no one listened. I am sorry I was too young and ignorant to come to your rescue. I love you and miss you. I hope you find the peace denied to you here.

Aug. 16, 1982 - Sept. 5, 2000

My best friend. Me and him were close as husband and wife. He shot himself. In front of me. He struggled with SI until one day he gave up. He was tired of being alone and misunderstood. He was too old for me and we couldn't see each other. I remember the last words he said to me

"...Remember, Kat, I always loved you... And one day, We will be together... Forever... No one to tell us whats right or wrong... But until that day, I want you to get married, have a better life than i would of had..."

After that, I started to cut myself. I want to join him someday, until the time is right. I love you Chris.

A walking Engima. Always thoughful, deep, and beatiful in you own way. Though I miss you, it soothes me to know that you are resting now, all across the Great Lakes of which you loved so much. I will always remember your eyes. Always mixed with emotion; pain, fear, hate, love, and compassion. To call you my girlfriend is an insult. You were my lover, my breath and my life.

Tammy was so understanding and helped so many people suffering from SI. She lost her own battle with Depression in January of 2001. In honor of her memory, Tammy Day was formed to educate people about Suicide, Depression, and SI. (You can look us up on Yahoo Groups.) We all miss Tammy a great deal, and not a day goes by when we do not think of her. She was an extraordinary young woman who got a bad deal in life. We can only hope that she has found some peace at last.

You never My boyfriend of four years. He and I understood each other so perfectly well, he was the only person that knew me like I truly am. The day he killed himself was the day I lost myself and everything I loved and knew.

I never really knew you. You were the quiet one in class who was nice to everyone, regardless of who their friends were or how much moeny they had. Such a sad ending to such a wonderful person with such troubles inside. I wonder if we could have ever reached you. The memories we had of you will always live on.

Dad I love you so much. The day I found out you were gone... well it stole the sun from my heart. I know that was your only way out, you didn't want to live this life and I don't blame you one little bit. I wish it was different, you were stripped off dignity but your at peace now. You were only 41. Far too young to go. I'll see you soon Daddy, it's a promise.

November 27th, 1979 - July 21st, 2001

I love you sis, and I wish I would have been able to help you. You always got worried when I cut myself, but you never told me you thought of suicide. I will always love you. I promise to take care of the baby, until the day I die. We all love you and miss you. I know Jason does, and Nichole and Kim and Denise and Tara and Bonnie and all of us. Mom and Dad, and Tiny most of all.

"One more day, one more time... one more sunset baby, I'd be satisfied, but then again, I know what it would do... leave me wishing still for one more day with you."

"Cuz there's holes in the floor of heaven, and her tears are pouring down.. that how I know she's watching, wishing she could be here now.. And sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember she can see, cuz there's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watching over you and me"

"And blood runs crimson from open veins.. tears washing away the endless pain..she falls to the white snow below..dying in a place I cannot go." I will always remember my Vicki, my best friend who died in my arms on that cold winter night. I missed you excruciatingly when I couldn't die too, I missed you painfully each time when I needed your laugh, but most of all I missed you when I realized you'd never come back again.

"My angel lifted her wings and flew to heaven... I miss you with each passing breath... Goodnight Sweetheart... until we meet again."

Tommy was kind to the world that brought him pain. He was truly an angel. His smile could've healed the world. He spent most of his time praying for others. He lived for God, but one day I woke up to find that he had gone, just as he claimed God had from his life. He left a note, but I never go to read it. If only I had known. I loved him, but never had the courage to tell him. I will continue my life carrying on his spirit. I will never love someone as much as I did Tommy.

She was always the one everyone talked about if only they knew what she knew all her pain and suffering and the bipolar that was controlling her I still wonder what was going through her mind as she jumped that day, and what they could have done to help.

Colin, I love you, and you were an awesome person. Truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. I don't understand why you hanged yourself. I didn't even believe it when I heard, but now I know it's true. It makes my heart ache thinking of what tortured you so badly you ended your life. Rest in Peace, I love you.

The seasons are changing and I miss you now more then I ever thought I would. One week after we lost Geschua, you jumped off that bridge and I thought my heart would stop. Every time I drive under a bridge I think of you. I hope that now you are safe and feel loved. Know that we all miss you here and wish you could come back to us.
