Every day worldwide we lose 2,160 or so people to suicide. Mental health organizations conservatively estimate 6 friends or family members will be profoundly affected by the loss, and become a survivor, of suicide. That’s 12,960 new survivors each day or nearly 5 million each year. On this first day of our new year 2012 please light a candle in remembrance of your loss and in acknowledgement of the 2,160 amazing people who did not wake to see this day. If you are new to Putting a Face on Suicide, please consider sharing your loved one with our project. All we need is a picture, full name and age at passing posted on our wall for them to be included.”
