Bryan

" on top of my 63km Walk I will be doing a 9km solo run in honour of my dear lifelong friend Siobhan Feeley husband, Bryan, who sadly lost his life a couple of years ago. Bryan was a devoted husband and a loving father, and his loss is a pain no family should ever have to endure. 💔 In his final days, Bryan reached out for help, but the support he needed wasn’t there. When he tried to get help only days before he took his life and was discharged by Maroondah hospital in which they stated on discharge papers he was a threat to himself and others. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of how much more we need to do to strengthen our mental health system so that no one is left to face their darkest moments alone. Lifeline is there for people when they feel they have nowhere else to turn. Every dollar raised goes directly to helping them answer more calls and be a lifeline for someone in crisis. This run is for Bryan, for Siobhan, and for their beautiful boys — and for every family touched by the tragedy of suicide. Together, we can honour their stories and help bring hope to others. 💙"

- Suzanne Smith

Ettie

"Thank you for getting me through the dark times, I couldn’t have done it without you "

Julie Gibbs

"As I finish this week of walking 9kms each day for the 9 lives lost daily to suicide in Australia, I want to say thank you — to everyone who donated, encouraged, or simply walked with me in spirit. Your kindness has meant more than words can express. This week has been deeply personal. Each day was dedicated to someone gone too soon, and it reminded me of the permanent impact suicide leaves on families and communities. It has also been a reminder that our actions, no matter how small, can spark hope. To anyone struggling — please hear this: there is always another solution, another tomorrow, another chance. You are not alone. You are loved. To the Murray, Ward, McDowall, and many other families who live with the pain of their loss every day "

- Julie Gibbs

Eoin

"To most, my brother Eoin, lived a full and happy life. He had a rewarding job and was about to graduate from University after heading back to study as a mature age student. He had a loving wife, a lovely home he had renovated mostly by himself, and he had his two precious German Shepherds. He had work colleagues and friends galore, collected from high school, his time living in the UK, and his various work places. He was liked, respected, and loved (and no doubt disliked - he was definitely polarising!), a larger than life character that left a lasting memory on all he met. And, he had a family that loved him deeply and would have done anything for him, had we known the depths of his suffering. In September, Gregg, Logan, Archie, Isla, I will be walking 9km to raise awareness and much needed funds to support Lifeline and the work they do around suicide prevention. 9km seems like an insignificant distance to walk, but there is significance in the number nine. Nine Australians take their own life daily. Nine years since Eoin made the decision to end his life. Nine lives too many. Nine years too many. Eoin’s story is written, but helping to rewrite someone else’s and prevent others from suffering such a devastating loss both honours Eoin's memory and gives our family hope as we continue to walk through life with our grief."

- Elly Muir

Scotty & Jason

"In memory of two awesome men who left a huge whole in our hearts. Nearly to the date, 6 years ago we farewelled Scotty and only 3 weeks ago we had our finally farewell to Jason. Wishing both men had realised how truly loved they were and wishing they could’ve seen there was help. You will always be in our hearts. I’m walking in honour of you both and to ensure no one has to fast their darkest moments alone."

Myself

"When I was 20 I made my most serious attempt on my life. I was suicidal for years, and now that I am a mother, I can’t imagine just how much pain my parents and loved ones felt. And I am just so grateful that I survived and went on to find my husband, have a baby and find myself really, although there are some days where it is still very much a fight to want to be here. "

"Today was someone’s last day here. Tomorrow will be someone’s last day here. Someone’s brother, someone’s sister, mother, father, best friend, partner, child. Tomorrow is someone’s last day here. Tomorrow is never promised. So do it today. Do it tired and unmotivated, scared and nervous, injured and sick. Do it by yourself and do it with confidence. Do it because not everyone gets the chance. Do it today because you’re still here. And do it with love because you have no idea how many people love you. "

"When I was 15 I wanted to be a nurse , and I looked up to this beautiful lady , my mums friend who even gave me her nursing books and watch . Times got too hard for her , she had one daughter but desperately wanted another baby and lost 10 babies while trying to fall pregnant. Then her husband who was a detective left her for another woman . One thing led to another and she went to a friends farm and borrowed a gun . The saddest thing I had ever known . So I walk for her and her daughter left behind ."

This is to my past self. And my biggest teachers and supporters whom are survivors.

"I will die on this hill fighting this battle. My peace can not be at the expense of my children. I must keep going.. as I have come too far. I lived with anger hatred and blame.. for last 10 years. Addiction and losing my children was the price ultimately. I have never wanted to be alive. But im here. The ongoing stigma and lack of understanding and ignorance needs to change. Suicide and mental health does not discriminate. Age, race, sex , rich or poor... life can change in an instant. Our job as humans is to reach out and support those most in need of help and support , to at the very basic.. be kind. ❤️ for my brother. In memory of my loved ones lost . My late brother Mark's battle with l mental health of which i did not fully understand until having experienced my own pain and loss . The people that remind me of what I cannot see in me and understand me. Have saved me. Value me. Listen to me. And to my heart.. my beautiful kids. To my heart ❤️ Thankyou for telling me to get out while I can, to go back to being the mum that I was... then u were gone. 27. I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well, the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Uh-huh... Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older I'm getting older, too Well... I still am deeply unhappy... but know..you just gotta get thru one minute at a time. One day at a time. Pls dont ever give up because we are all loved by someone okay. Even when my very core says otherwise about myself.. there was a time when I loved living. That time will come again so long as we take each day at a time together. Mark 27 , Richo. Mk. Arran 27 .. Mumma rose , i miss you. Thankyou for all memories.. im so grateful to have had been taught by the best on how to love yourself and how to ask for help.and also for teaching me how to love. "

For everyone who couldn’t stay.

"Years of sleep that haven’t been slept are tied in thick bales of heaviness deep within the cords of the optic nerve. Trauma simmers in bodies a hive mind of fungi-like blistered acne, aches, anger, danger. Blood on gnawed lips. Raw, peeled fingertips. Plaque-coated teeth, the whiff of rotting neglect between mouth and nose. Spoken sentences sound much longer. Stringing words into speech staggers and saunters. Sightlines shrivel shorter."

We they were 15 and 17. Always look out for your mates and family , even when they look like they’re doing well. Especially when they look like they’re doing well."

To Everyone Who Tried to take their Own Life

"I'm a survivor of the Shadows. I dedicate my walk not only to those who didn't make it out of the shadows, but also to those who did. Those who felt there was no one to talk to, reach out to or confide in. Being in the shadows is one of the darkest places you can ever be. I am 7 1/2 years on and so grateful paramedics saved my life. I am so thankful for Lifeline & all they do. I have been to funerals of those lost to suicide, and I want to help make sure that everyone has a life where they feel loved and worthy x"

Daniel James

"Today, on Suicide Prevention Day, I remember my brother Daniel. As a little boy, he was cheeky and mischievous—he loved nothing more than terrorising me in the way only a younger brother could. But as he grew, that playful spirit blossomed into thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity. Daniel loved giving to others. I’ll never forget the time he made me a Moulin Rouge tape for my birthday, or how, after he passed, Mum and I found a list he’d written of all the gifts he wanted to buy for each of us. That’s who Daniel was—someone who carried love in the details, always thinking of ways to bring joy to his family. Losing him to suicide was heartbreaking beyond words. But in remembering him, I want to shine a light on what mattered most to him: love, generosity, and connection. If sharing Daniel’s story helps even one person feel less alone, then his spirit continues to give. To anyone struggling: please, reach out. You are not alone, you are not a burden, and your life has meaning. Just as Daniel’s life will always have meaning to me. For my brother, Daniel—forever loved, forever remembered. Forever young 💛 "

"I walk for myself. I have my own story and journey with mental health and suicide. It is support of loved ones which got me through. I thank them. To a certain young man, my student, who lost his silent battle with mental health, may you rest peacefully in a place of sunshine. I walk for you, to feel your presence. To my niece who battles. I see you, I hear you and I love you. May you always know the joy you bring to our lives. For those suffering; those who have suffered; those that have lost loved ones; and for those who continue to see those they love suffering- I walk for you. "

"The quiet man who took on so much. A heart that considered every decision in great detail. Gone too soon - never forgotten "

Shay

"The hardest part about being a survivor of parent suicide is that you grow up to be the age they were when they died. You start to evaluate things how they must have seen things. How truly difficult you find it too and how easy it must have been for them to finally let all that go because they never had to endure the pain suicide causes. So I can’t do it. So I grow older than he would have been, and that feels weird. It feels uncomfortable, unnatural. I’m not sure if this feeling will ever go away. I hate that I understand why he did this. I hate that I understand it so much on so many levels, that I must choose to stay. I wish he finally learnt like I did, that “Life is hard, but it’s lovely.”"

"I’m walking in memory of my dad, who died by suicide 26 years ago at 43, and my brother, who died the same way eight years later at 29 yo. This picture was taken at my Grade 10 Leavers night - if only I’d known it would be the final hug shared with my dad 🫶. Some days it feels like I heard their voices yesterday, other days it feels like a lifetime ago 😔. For a long time I rarely spoke openly about their death because of the shame and stigma around suicide within the community. I’ve learned there is no shame and to help break the stigma and raise awareness/funds - I’m stepping out of the shadows. 🌄 Forever young, forever loved, forever missed. ❤️"

Through this walk, I want to honor you and give a voice to all those who struggle silently and often go unseen. I miss you endlessly — and yet, I walk in your memory to bring light into the darkness. May no one ever have to face their darkest moments alone. For you, for us, for everyone. 👣✨"

- Sarah

Too many to list

"In memory of the many I have lost to suicide— Gone, but never forgotten. I walk in honour of you all. Each step I take is a promise: that your names, your stories, your light will never fade. To believe that in your darkest moments, you felt alone… That no one stood beside you, That no light pierced the tunnel— Breaks my heart and steels my resolve. I carry you with me. In every sunrise, every quiet moment, every act of kindness. I speak your names in silence and in strength. I keep the door open. There is always a spare bed. The kettle is always ready to boil. If you need warmth, rest, or simply someone to sit beside you— I am here. This tribute is not just for those we’ve lost, But for those still searching for hope. You are not alone. You are seen. You are loved. You are welcome."

"4 years ago my cousin decided it was all too much for him to continue on in this life! I wish there was something I could have done to help him see how loved he was. So ever since then I have always supported mental health and advocated that it isn’t weak to speak. I have gone through my own issues in life so I understand the pain that people go through! Life sucks sometimes but if I can save one life or many more by doing what I can to help I’m all in. I wanted to raise $1,170.00 for the 9km walk and it stalled a little and I said if I get my target amount I will also donate $1,170.00 and jog the 9km. And guess what, I hit it!!! So tomorrow I will be jogging 9km and I’ve donated the money to this great cause. So now I’m sitting at roughly $2,399 so this is unbelievable to be able to make a change to someone by a call being answered!! "

"My brother was 10 years older than me, he was 22 years old. He had 2 little sisters that idolised him. So when we got the news that he killed himself, we could not understand why or how he could leave us the way he did. A mother that questions everyday "did I do enough? what else could I have done to save him?" I shouldn't have to bury a child!!! I was sad for a long time then my sadness turned to anger. How could he leave me like that, we didn't get to say goodbye, why? How? these are questions that will never get answered, questions that we have to live with for the rest of our lives. Questions that could have been possibly been prevented if he had the resources today to help him through his pain or if he knew that Its OK to not be OK. He would of seen his little sisters grow into young women who had families of their own. I am doing this walk to raise money to help a person or family not have to deal with the pain and suffering we had to deal losing a loved one. It affects your whole life 💔"

And I'm so proud of you for always being honest with your parents and giving them the chance to try find you help. Knowing how much your mum feels like she failed you I just can't imagine how she'd be if she never saw it coming at all.

"I miss you mate, we didn't know each other for very long, but that time was enough to make each other laugh like no other. Our silly banter, wit, and shared appreciation for Oxford commas. There was day when you called me 'probably the funniest person I've ever met.' I wish I was nearby when you left, maybe I could have made you laugh again. I still see the cobblestones we painted in town, an artsy reminder. I'll see you soon mate."

Though your journey here ended too soon, your spirit, kindness, and the memories we made together will live on in everyone who was lucky enough to know you.

A curtain lifted on the many pressures women face, especially in advocacy, male dominated and complex social impact work. To the gates you opened. To the fights you said yes to. To the people you championed, mostly that you never even met. To the sweat and tears behind the bridges you built, that will remain strong for so many years to come. Thank you. "

"While barely making it out alive yet surviving the broken ACT Mental Health System, being degraded by the judicial system, only to have my cries for help ignored. Ignored by those I needed only for them to see an opportunity and use my words to fill their narrative. Destroying any reminiscence of hope. Please share the true version of my story. The words I write, not the words pulled from a cloud. “Broken… but still good.”"

Please remember—you are not alone, and you are deeply loved."

University peer

"I went to university with him at a military academy, where so many people struggled with mental health and thoughts of suicide. I wasn’t very close with him but I knew him and would see him around most days. When we were told about him passing we were ordered not to tell anyone, including our families. It was awful. I wish he knew that he wasn’t alone. That was a lightbulb moment for me, and it made me realise how important mental health is and being able to seek help when needed. I will never forget him. "

Mick

"I will walk with a heavy heart, remembering my good friend Mick. He was more than just a mate to me — he was a friend to so many. As a paramedic, he saved countless lives, giving his time, his strength, and his compassion to others in their hardest moments. But behind the uniform, Mick carried a weight that many couldn’t see. The mental toll of emergency service work is real, and tragically, he lost his own battle with it. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of how important it is to look after our mental health and to reach out for help when the darkness feels too heavy. I’m walking to raise funds for Lifeline, so that support is always there for those who need it most. This walk is for Mick, for his memory, and for everyone who has ever felt like they were carrying too much alone. If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone. Help is out there — reach out, talk to someone, and never be afraid to ask for support. ❤️ Rest easy, Mick. You are missed more than words can say."

Just passed the 2 year anniversary and the ache in my heart is no lighter than the day it happened, I don’t know if it ever will be or if I will ever come to terms with it. My only hope is that my mum is finally at peace and that I find mine whilst living this beautiful life 🫶 Sending love to all who have experienced this type of death ❤️"

I wish you called this time, you know I was always there but I know you felt alone and the world was too much to take. I know you tried so hard to see…. But the darkness got too much and left you as immovable as a tree. On the day you left a piece of my heart left too. I bask in each new dawn just like you’d want me to and I stay strong because I know that even though you may be gone your memory lives on. Forever 25 Liam my little bro I miss you so much I’m sorry this world let you down. I see and feel you with me all around.

I’m sorry I wasn’t there when the darkness became to much. I miss you my bro but this walk is to do some justice and show mental health is no joke and suicide among men is an ever increasing statistic. So this walk is to raise awareness and start the conversation amongst ourselves man or woman speak up and let someone know it’s all become to much please 🙏 and to all the lost brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers that have lost their battle or are battling thru it this walk is for you all !!!! 🤜🏻 much love to you all and rest easy my bro, peace "

Deanne

"I was 17 when my Mum took her own life. It was an awful time, losing mum in that way. But what made it worse was the shame and guilt surrounding how Mum died. Generational bias and lack of education on the subject was common back in 1990 but things were starting to change. With the introduction of support services such as Lifeline, mental illness was no longer a taboo subject and people were able to reach out in their darkest moments. I still see shame rear its ugly head in people I support and even in myself but shame diminishes when you share your thoughts with someone else. Help me keep Lifelines important service going. "

Katie Lang

"I didn't know Katie personally, but I will never forget her, or the day I learned that she'd taken her own life. I was in early high school, she was a few grades above me. There is no way to express the emotions I felt, let alone the devastating impact it had on her friends and family. When I graduated a few years later in 1999, I was given an art award created in her honour. I thought a lot about her and what kind of art she'd liked to make. I can't find anything about her online now, or a history of the award, I don't think it exists anymore. So I will be thinking of Katie while I walk, of what the world lost that day, and of all the other people that my friends, family and I have lost over the years. I will be thinking about all them. "

River

"I’m taking on a 50km walk in memory of my dear friend River, who I lost in 2018. River was by my side throughout high school, a constant presence, a beautiful soul, and someone who always showed up for others. This walk is not just a challenge; it’s a tribute to the incredible friend River was, and a way to raise awareness and support for mental health in their honour."

After the loss of our parents in 2021 during covid and him not being able to say goodbye or be with his sisters on the other side of the world during this heartbreaking time, his grief got too much for him & he came to Australia when the borders finally opened and took his own life before even getting to see us. The heartbreak that we, his kids and family back in the UK continue to endure everyday without him as well as all the what ifs, is something that we wouldn’t want others to go through and I know that our brother wouldn’t either if he was still here today 💔 Please reach out and talk to someone, help is out there ❤️"

That moment will stay with me forever. 💛 And if you’re ever in doubt or feeling alone, please remember there is support out there. Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or talk to someone you trust. You don’t have to go through it alone."

Lacie May Murphy

"In Honour of Lacie May Murphy This Suicide Prevention Month, we honour the life of Lacie May Murphy, a beautiful soul taken from us far too soon. Lacie was more than just a friend she was a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece, and a light in so many people's lives. At just 15, her smile and laughter touched everyone around her, but behind that smile she carried pain no one should have to bear. Her story is a heartbreaking reminder of the impact bullying and mental health struggles can have, and why it's so important to show kindness, speak up, and support one another. Suicide doesn't just take one life it leaves ripples of grief through families, friends, and communities. This month, and every month, we remember Lacie with love. We share her name so she is never forgotten, and we raise our voices to say: You are not alone. You are loved. Your life matters. If you are struggling, please reach out — to a friend, a loved one, or a helpline. There is always hope, and there is always someone who cares."

My Mother, Diane Parsell

"I lost my mother in 2016, to suicide. I was in the adolescent psych unit at the same time, for attempting to take my life on multiple occasions. Having my Mum lose her battle was the hardest pill for me to swallow, but I am still here today & I keep pushing on to become the best person I can be. As a mental health Key worker at 25 years old I pray that my mother would be proud of me for helping people like her. Walking 10km with Lifeline, I am ensuring that NO ONE will have to face their darkest moments alone. IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK💙💜🩵"

DAN THE MAN

"He was the under dog in our family. Loved music had a drug habit but he was at the centre of my heart. He filled in where dad, mum and brothers couldn't. While he couldn't raise his own son he helped me. Teaching me how to drive and for many years helping my mother out with various chores. He lost his fight to suicide when my family lost my 2nd eldest brother on the 23rd December and bought a different house. There wasn't enough rooms for uncle Dan to come. So he was sent to a men shelter. He invented a fuel filter. He came back and asked once more if he could move back home since I shifted out the answer was no. He killed himself later that week it was 2 days before my deceased brothers birthday so he was remembered as much as him. Dan if I could take away the rejection and give you another chance I would have. Despite your issues, you helped our family, you helped me. The world was different after that day. He died a terrible death overdosing on various pills. Slow, painful and alone. Rest easy Daniel Son ill see you on the other side 🫶"

Simone

"My Mum, Simone committed suicide in November 2024. She suffered with chronic pain for 4 years, barely out of bed and barely living. She got severely depressed and anxious after 4 years without success to get better. I lost my Dad in 2011 to cancer, Mum never healed from losing him and never had another serious relationship. Her grief I think is a contribution to her suicide. Mum left behind my 17 year old sister Dannielle and I, we are now living together and trying to support one another. Everything we do, we do for our Mum and Dad. But especially for Mum. She was our rock, being our only living parent. Even with the challenges of being a single parent, she was the absolute best. She was such a good Mum and person. We miss her so dearly every single day. We wish things could have been different, maybe if she used a service such as Lifeline, she could still be here today. "

I want to dedicate this tribute to myself

"I want to take a moment to honor the parts of me that often go unseen. Depression has tried to dim my light, and social anxiety has tried to silence my voice, but I am still here. I wake up every day carrying weights no one else can see, and yet I continue. Depression tells me I am not enough, but my persistence proves otherwise. Social anxiety makes me fear connection, but the fact that I keep trying shows my courage. This is not just a struggle—it is resilience in disguise. It is strength in quiet moments, bravery in small steps, and hope in choosing to stay when giving up feels easier. "

- Megan Carne

My tribute is dedicated to myself ❤️‍🩹

"I am someone who has experienced a return of severe mental ill-health recently, and this has included intrusive and suicidal thoughts. I share my story so that others feel less alone, so that our darkest moments are lightened through connection, compassion and care."

"Today, we walk in honour of every member of the motorsport family who has lost their battle with mental health. Whether behind the wheel, in the pits, on the sidelines, or in the stands — you were, and always will be, part of our racing community.

"Although everything seems hard I’ve gotten through some of the worst parts of my life. I know I didn’t think I’d live past 18. Now I’m nearly 20. I still struggle but not as bad as before. I am safe and loved now. To be able to say I lived with my full chest is something I never thought I’d do. And I’ve done it all for the version of me who thought I’d never make it, who thought I’d never be truly happy, who was smiling through everything I was going through so no one saw. This is for me.

Christina - Monique

"On the 10th of September our family will be walking with purpose, with love, and with heavy footsteps. I’m walking for my sister-in-law, Christina Monique, my soul sister, my person, my angel. Her memory guides me every single day, and I will forever carry her in my heart. I’m also walking for her children, for my family, and for everyone who has been touched by this kind of pain. Suicide doesn’t just take one life, it ripples out and changes entire families and communities forever. This walk is about breaking the silence, honouring those we’ve lost, and reminding the world that no one should ever feel alone in their darkest moments. It’s about shining a light into the darkness and standing shoulder to shoulder with others who know this journey all too well. I walk to keep Christina’s spirit alive. I walk to love and protect her children, just as she wanted. And I walk for every family who has faced this heartbreak, so they know they are not alone. Today, and every day, I walk for you, Christina. Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever ours 🦋🌻"

Cynthia Macdonald

"This Suicide Prevention Month, I want to honour the memory of Cynthia, who lost her lives to suicide. Her passing left a hole in my heart that can never truly be filled, but it has also given me a deep sense of purpose in speaking up and sharing her stories. She was more than the struggles she faced. She was laughter, kindness, and love. Remembering her reminds me how important it is to check in with each other, to listen without judgment, and to remind the people around us that they are not alone—even when it feels like the world is against them. I share my story today to shine a light in the darkness and to honour her life. If you are struggling, please know there is no shame in reaching out. You are not a burden, and your life matters more than you may ever realise. Together, we can help ensure that no one has to carry their pain in silence. "

Three attempts. With very serious outcomes. I’m only coming to terms with it now. I call Lifeline When I need that extra encouragement to stay here and stay healthy and they always answer.

Alice FOSTER

"As a Mother of 4, consisting of 2 lots from 2 husbands so a big gap between both means I've only just gotten the youngest to 18 while the eldest turned 36 a week ago. During this time I've been exposed to many sad scenarios with death, whether deliberate, accidental or cancer. It reminds you every time of how precious life is... none of us know when it'll be our turn. This walk is a reminder for me of the tightrope we all walk, be it with our family members, colleagues, children's friends, members of the Community or total strangers who come into our lives. Compassion & kindness is essential for all of us....give a hug, share a smile or say G'day....you just never know what impact that may have for that individual in that moment. Loving healing hugs to each of you 💝🧡💛💚💙💜 "

Joe and others gone too soon from eating disorders.

"Another magnificent, kind, beautiful soul gone too soon from an insidious disease. People suffering from eating disorders should not have to suffer in silence. Alone. Feel like there is no way out of the darkness or a burden. This mental illness needs more awareness, funding, education and support. No one should feel like they are all alone and there is no way out. No one should have to feel guilt, shame, self loathing and that the only way to stop the suffering is to end their lives. Suicide is not the answer. "

"Theo, You are the most special person into my life. Your special way to care for people, love for animals and adventures has brought so many friends around you, they absolutely adore you. Someone with yours highly sensitive soul felt very vulnerable in a world full of cruelty against humanity and animals. I understand you Theo, I do ! You weren't only my grandson, you are my best friend, the one who makes me laugh and then I tell crazy thoughts... then we laughed even harder. I wish I could have called you, I wish I had never let go the last embrace we had. I know you are in a good place, I feel you when a brize surround me, when I see a bird landing next to me, on the warmth of the sun, the night sky full of stars. On the same night we said farewell to you , you show yourself on this beautiful constellation on the sky, then I knew without doubts you are with us. Love you forever, one day we will be reunited. Miss you deeply."

I question daily if there was anything I could have spotted or even helped with to stop it from happening. If you been there sometimes it’s an in the spot decision, these decisions are often not thought through enough but can change yours and loved ones lives for ever. "

"I am walking so nobody has to face their darkest moment alone. That even in the darkest moments the smallest ray of sunshine can save somebodies life. Having cared for many people who have taken their own lives and dealing with some personal struggles of my own. Every service that can help change somebodies life is one worth supporting "

Peter and Gary Thornton

"Two of my brothers took their own lives, Peter and Gary. Peter struggled after his marriage breakdown and found life too difficult to continue with. Gary had PTSD after the Black Hawk tragedy in Queensland as he was a member of the Australian Army and knew all of those that were involved. Due to medical reasons he could not fly so I think he had survivors guilt, and took his life several months later. Our family were shattered to lose both of them within a few years of each other. If this walk can save at least one life it will be worth it. "

💙💙

"To the families and loved ones who carry the grief of losing someone to suicide—our hearts are with you. Your pain is real, your loss immeasurable, and your love for the one you lost will never fade. No words can erase the ache, but please know that your courage in remembering, honoring, and speaking out makes a difference. Your stories remind us why suicide prevention matters. They remind us that behind every statistic is a beautiful life, a family forever changed, and a community touched by loss. In your strength, even in sorrow, you light the way for others—so that fewer families may know this heartbreak. As we honor the memory of those we have lost, let us also commit to action. Suicide prevention is about compassion, listening, and reminding one another that hope is never out of reach. Even the smallest gesture of kindness can be the lifeline someone needs. To every family grieving: you are not alone. Your loved one’s life will always matter. And together, we will continue to raise awareness, break the silence, and fight for a future where hope triumphs over despair. 💙 In remembrance. In solidarity. In hope. 💙 "

"On the 17th of June 2025, my dad lost his battle with his own mental health and committed suicide. My family and I are riding the roller coaster that is grief because we lost such an amazing man. He was a father, brother, business owner, Ice hockey player, artist, picture framer, AFL Sydney Swans supporter and most of all… he was funny. He made others smile and laugh uncontrollably with his quick wit. I miss his dad jokes and the way he could make everything seem a little bit less serious. He was an amazing father and the pain I feel everyday knowing he isn’t here hurts deeply. "

Nikita

"Growing up I had a tough childhood, I’m not going to get into everything that’s happened - but it was pretty traumatic and I really, really hope nobody else ever has to go through anything like that because it broke me and has made my life a lot harder to live. Children are our future and if we don’t ensure they’ve had a brilliant childhood, there will be parts of them that are broken and cannot be fixed. We have to make sure our children don’t grow up miserable, and feeling useless otherwise there is basically no future. — This probably doesn't make much sense but our children are everything and everybody needs to understand this."

Myself

"I am walking to support myself and to acknowledge all that I have survived in this life. My last attempt was three years ago but I made myself seek help, I got help and I lived and you can too"

Virginia Gallehawk

"I am representing myself. For years I have been going through SO many highs and lows due to my ever changing environment and mental stability. I won’t say exactly what my mental illness is due to the fact that I like to tell people what I have gone through first such as: - when I was younger I always was afraid of my family environment, due to yelling or raised tones either directly or indirect from people and I didn’t always know how to handle it. So I would block my ears and secluded myself in my bedroom. But since my bedroom door didn’t have a lock people would still intrude every-so-often. But even though I should be desensitised by the yelling by now I never quite get use to it due to unhealed/resolved feelings towards how I SHOULD react to yelling. Thankfully I am getting better at reacting to yelling and tone shifts. Nowadays I will have a gentle approach to most situations when people raise their voices volume and tones and be inquisitive by kindly asking why they have raised their voices or changed their tone. - Also when I was younger I tend to take things at face value and very literally (even now as an adult) but only because I want to make sure that I am understanding the context correctly, I can be very thoughtful for not only myself but others as well. - but because I am thoughtful and caring I tend to help other people before myself (sometimes). I need to remember the quote “not my circuit, not my monkeys” which means “don’t concern yourself with other people’s problems, they can’t get out of their current problem, so how are YOU able to get yourself out if you go in too deep, because they CAN’T help you if YOU can’t help yourself!” - I have a history of meltdowns when I don’t understand a situation that I need to understand that or I have a meltdown when something changes and I wasn’t informed sooner. Thankfully I have gotten better at handling things changing, I’ve come so far!! My support workers would be proud! (Oh wait, haha I forgot that they told me that they ARE proud of me). - I have a history of addictions, such as: Phone addiction Social media addiction Macro tracking addiction Eating disorder (but not clinically diagnosed) I’m also more liable to have an extension addiction to another previous addiction that I want to get away from. My logic is “I need to get rid of an addiction by finding a new addiction” which I KNOW isn’t healthy and that they only WAY of stopping a addiction is to come to it and STOP IT IMMEDIATELY!!! And then you cry, you cry because you’re letting it go.. all of it!!! The ONLY way to stop an addiction is to STOP REPEATING THE PATTERN!!! Get something that will satisfy IMMEDIATELY!!! Not something that’ll slightly satisfy… NO!!! It HAS TO IMMEDIATELY SATISFY!!! Then, STOP!!! Don’t go back to it BECAUSE it won’t SATISFY!!! If you feel the need to do it again… just … DON’T!!!! "

Chris

"After suffering major trauma early in life, Chris, like me, had been tormented all his life. Nothing seemed to help, and he turned to alcohol. Sadly, that wasn't enough to drown out the pain, and after many attempts, he finally succumbed to his demons, leaving his family in a world of grief and pain. He's now at peace, but is missing the joy of seeing his son marry, and watching grandchildren, nephews and nieces and great nieces grow up. He is dearly missed. ❤️ I wish he'd been able to reach out to Lifeline, like I did. I was in a very dark place and attempted suicide myself. But since reaching out, I have found the vital mental health support, and now with two gorgeous granddaughters, I have found new purpose in life, and the drive and passion to support others who struggle, in any way I can. 🙏🏼💜"

- Rosy

Me, Myself and I

Sam.

"I have lost friends to suicide and personally attempted suicide. This year, I have been in the best headspace in my adult life. I have quit alcohol & smoking, I’ve accessed mental health support, and I have found my love for life again. It’s a powerful feeling. Now I’m a blood donor, a registered organ donor, and I need to spread this feeling of health and happiness to help others out of where I once was. On September 10th I will do 9km + 1km for each donation to my fundraiser. Thank you to everyone at Lifeline for helping to reduce the numbers of Australians lost to suicide. "

Andrew

"When I was a teenager I live with my friend Andrew who was helping me out when I didnt have allot of money or a place to stay. He was a good bloke. When I finally moved out and was able to look after myself I moved away but tried to keep in touch as much as I cook. I eventually found out he had turned to drugs and went to jail for awhile. I thought he had been going well after he got out because he was going for his small aircraft license as he actually always wanted to be in the the Australian air force. But his dad ended up passing away around the age of 70 and Andrew turned to drugs again and he actually committed suicide not long after. I miss him and I wish he had reached out to talk to me or someone to help guide him through his thoughts and emotions and fears. I myself have been in a few rough patches here and there. But I reached out and got the help I needed and I had my close mates, family, my partner and my kids to push me through. I've known allot of people who have been through the down points in thier life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope from what myself and everyone else is doing that we can make a difference. I just hope that anyone who reads this who might be feeling down, reaches out to friends or family or a helpline etc so that they don't have to go through stuff alone and so they can be helped forward in the right direction.

Beau and Magilla

"I tried so hard to hold the weight of the man I loved with all my heart as he crumbled under the weight that only losing someone brings. Another friend, another brother, he couldn't bear to stand on his own. There he was, his 6 foot plus height and his 120kg's curled up sobbing on the floor. Losing not just his friends but men he saw as brothers tore at the very understanding he had of the world. He thought he stood alone. What he couldn't see was that we to, his partner, his children, we broke to. We to lost someone we adored. And although my partner is still alive he has never been the same, so yeah, in a way we lost him as well as his brothers. Suicide takes more than the life of the one who grows wings, it takes so much more. "

Charlie Heinrich

"On September 10, World Suicide Prevention Day, I will be taking part in the Out of the Shadows Walk through Lifeline. This walk is deeply personal to me — just one month ago, I lost my brother to suicide. To honour his memory, and to stand beside all those who have lost someone or are struggling themselves, I will be walking 9km to remember the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day. I’m walking not only to remember my brother, but also to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support Australians in crisis. Every step, every conversation, and every dollar raised makes a difference in providing hope and help through Lifeline. I’ve started a team, and it is open to anyone who would like to join — whether you walk beside me, donate, or simply share the message. And if you can’t walk the 9km, you can bike, jog, or take part in any way that feels right for you. Together, we can shine a light in the darkness and remind people they are never alone. 💙 If you’d like to support or join the team, I’d be so grateful"

"This post is dedicated to my friend, Allie. I miss her much. Not a day goes by that i do not think of her. I would do absolutely anything just to talk to her one last time. She helped me during the darkest time of my life, and she was the only one that ever understood me. I love her so much and my heart physically aches knowing that i'll never get the chance to tell her just how much i loved her. If you're thinking of suicide - please, please, please remember - no matter how alone and hopeless and scared you feel, there is always hope. even if you cant see it right now, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. i've gone through severe depressive episodes where i was convinced i wouldnt make it out alive, where i attempted to take my life more than once. i was so sure that it would never, ever get better - but then it did. and i came back stronger. There are so many people in this world that need you and would be devastated if you disappeared. Whoever you are, im rooting for you. Keep fighting xxx "

I watch my children play, I look over to your old house and think of the good times. And the hard ones. I think of knocking off after a hard summer day. I stayed after work, just to hang out and shoot pool with you. I miss listening to "Flame trees" and "will I ever see your face again" at the top of lungs with my sounds around ya shoulder. Some of the best times of my life. Our little group of misfits really gave me a sense of belonging. I've never since found that. I've got 4 kids now bro. You'd love em. You'd be so proud of me mate. I'm doing me best, I'm helping others. I'm trying hard to be a good man. I miss you Leigh."

"Two days ago we lost someone who was truly one of a kind. He wasn’t just a friend, he was the kind of person who always showed up. He didn't just call himself a friend, he WAS a friend. His actions showed nothing less. The kind who gave his time, his strength, and his heart without ever expecting anything in return. He was genuine. Selfless. A good man in every sense of the word. Our lives are better because he was in them, and our hearts will always carry the imprint of his kindness. I not only walk for Tim, but his family. Those who feel this emptiness and hurt much deeper than I do. Tim was a good person because they are. I walk for them as well, in honour of Tim, who he was and everything his family are as well. I walk in respect of them too. They’re good people and I wish I could do more for them right now. My heart breaks 💔"

He had a way of making people feel seen and valued, even when he was silently struggling himself. Though the darkness took him from us too soon, Hudson’s warmth and light continue to live on in our hearts. If you're struggling, please know you're not alone. There is help. There is hope. Speak up, reach out, and hold on. Hudson’s story is a reminder that behind even the brightest smiles, silent battles may rage. Let’s honor him by being kinder to ourselves and to one another, and by continuing to talk openly about mental health. Forever missed. Forever loved. Hudson — always with us. "

Debra Bentley

"On October 2nd, 2024, my whole world stopped when I received the call that Mum had taken her life 💔 Mum was beautiful inside and out. Kind, empathetic, and full of love, especially for anyone in need, whether it was a person or an animal. I still have no idea how to move forward in a world without her. All those memories you try so desperately to hold onto… all the “what ifs” and now the “never will be’s”… the daily urge to pick up the phone, to ask for advice, to hear her calming voice, thinking “Mum will know what to do.” The grief is endless. Behind Mum’s warm smile, the one that could light up a room, she carried a pain that became too heavy to bear. Losing her this way has shattered our hearts. I miss her every single day and would give anything for just one more hug, one more “I love you, Chiccy.” I’m sharing her story because no one should ever feel like there’s no way forward, and no family should have to endure this pain. I am raising money to honour Mum’s memory and to bring hope to those still struggling and to help save as many lives as we can 💛"

Ocia Tangi Smith

"In 2023 I was 5 months pregnant with my 1st baby son Hiwa-ata-rangi, when I received a call from my step-dad letting my Brother and I know our Mum has passed away. My brother and I weren’t aware she took her life until we arrived in NZ 2 days before the funeral so alot of mixed emotions were going through our minds. Sadness. Pain. Anger. Confusion. All of the above. We never got a letter or a reason why she left but I was blessed with a beautiful healthy boy who’s a splitting image of me and my mum combined, so I guess I won in the end 😅🥹 My son being my Mum’s namesake, is named after a star that rises in the morning on the 21st of July; the shortest and coldest winter day every year. The star that comes out is called Hiwa-i-te-rangi which is a star Māori wish and send off their greatest hopes and desires to. It was my biggest desire to be a mum but it hurts to know I had to learn how to be a mum without one. My mum was the first person I told when I found out my test was positive and when we found out we were having a boy. She was thrilled when I told her and then paused and asked if we’re celebrating or crying 😂 I just knew she couldn’t want to meet her grandson. She had so much to look forward to, a grandson, love, a reason to fly to Australia and stay for a while. And the biggest heartbreak ever is never knowing why.So please, be there for those that smile the brightest, always be kind and tell your friends and family you love them because you never know if it’ll be the last time 🩵💜"

"This is my beautiful Auntie Amy. I never got to meet her because she ended her life before I was born. Despite never having met her, my life has been impacted by her loss. She was a kind-hearted, sensitive woman. Someone I really would have benefited from knowing, being a sensitive child myself. I have also witnessed the far reaching toll it has taken on those who knew and loved her. We all needed her to stay. So now I live my life trying to help people to find a way to stay. Not just for others, but for themselves. There’s always a chance life and circumstances will improve. Let’s always fight for life, keep looking forward, and keep striving for greater peace, love, and joy!"

Ode to the lost ones

"This is a cause that cuts close to home for me. I know what it’s like to battle with my own mental health, to face dark thoughts, and to fight through moments where the weight feels unbearable. I’ve stood in that place — and I’ve seen people I love stand there too. Some made it through, but heartbreakingly, some didn’t. Losing friends to suicide leaves a scar that never really fades. It’s a reminder of how fragile life can feel, and how desperately we all need compassion, understanding, and support when the darkness closes in. That’s why, on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10), I’ll be walking Out of the Shadows. I’m walking for my own fight, for my family and friends who’ve carried me through, and for those we’ve lost far too soon. I’m walking to raise funds for Lifeline, so they can keep answering the calls from people who are standing where I once stood. Because sometimes, one voice on the other end of the phone is enough to keep someone here. If you can, please support me. Every step I take is for hope, healing, and the belief that no one should have to face their darkest moment alone. To those who left us too soon, not a day goes by that you’re not missed. Your laughter, your warmth, your presence — all remain etched in our hearts. Suicide took you from this world, but it will never take away the love we carry for you. You are more than your struggles, more than your final moments. You are stories, memories, and light that will never fade. I walk in your honour. I remember you in silence and in song. And I carry you with me in every step I take. 💛 Forever loved. Forever remembered. Never forgotten."

AFP officers

"I used to scream FTP. I was traumatized by some officers and I would verbally and mentally abuse them every chance I got. I've now gotten over my trauma and I appreciate police. I was shocked when I discovered the amount of AFP officers who take their own lives, every year... And the numbers only increase every year. They must experience the most horrific torments every day. I'm doing this for everyone contemplating taking their own life :( Life is amazing and it is extremely difficult. No one survives and we all die sooner than expected. The only thing that I know that is certain is that life or existence is constantly changing. Nothing is static... Everything is falling apart."

You were such a light in this world and you were so loved; I wish you could have seen how many people on our little island came to say goodbye on the beach, you gave us the most beautiful sunset. You have every year since, you always had a way of being the light in the room. I love you, I always will, I miss your silly nicknames and the way you always took up too much of the bed… I miss your voice, your laugh, your eyes.

Jackie

"I never planned my life beyond my early teens. I didn’t have dreams of my future wedding, my dream job or what my children’s names would be. I wanted to travel, but I knew it wouldn’t happen. I spent everyday fighting with my own mind and body just to exist. When you live in survival mode for so long you stop caring about anything except the pain you’re in and your thoughts are focused on how to make it stop. To say it’s been a tumultuous journey to get here would simply be an understatement. I was a broken shell of a person for so long I couldn’t even fathom what life would look like now. I’ve spent my mid-twenties catching up on what the rest of my peers got to achieve in their late teens. But thank god I did. Life has colour and meaning now and every day I’m grateful that I survived. When you’re in the thick of it you can’t imagine it can get better, but it can and it absolutely does. If you can’t find hope, let someone else hold it for you. You will survive this. "

Your down-to-earth nature, your humour, your talent and thirst for creating art and story. You enjoyed engaging with me, exploring new worlds from oceans apart. I have struggled to move on. I might not be okay myself. So much has happened without you here. I wish you could see how much you are still missed and adored. I will meet you again when my times comes. Until then, I continue the story and share in the gift of collaboration with others. Maybe one day, we will create again. Your friend, your companion, your writing partner. "

Shani

"Suicide is not 'an easy way out' or a 'cowardly '/selfish action'. It is more often than less one made out of complete despair and hopelessness when someone sees no light at the end of the tunnel and feel absolute pain that cannot be seen to others around them. It is a constant battle of 'me against me' to get through each day when life gets overwhelming beyond our nervous system's capacity, and we all can help make a difference for ourselves and our loved ones, one sunset at a time."

- Shani Anthony

"Don’t be afraid to speak up. It may just save your life "

Myself, and my friends

"I have delt with mental health issues for as long as I can remember, and so have a lot of my friends. But one thing I have learned is that, there IS light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, I still deal with mental health, but accepting the help when it is offered, helps more than I would have ever known! There is a lot of toxic traits in our everyday life, mostly towards men and their mental health. DO NOT be afraid to ask for help! That is one thing I always say to my closes friends, I rather sit with you for HOURS listening to your troubles then sitting at your funeral wondering what could have been. As the years go on, there are some small bumps in the road and some MASSIVE ones, but that is life. Those bumps makes us who we are meant to be. I am turning 20 this year, and I have felt like it's the end of the world, when it is only the beginning... There is so much to live for out there, there are so many amazing people that are yet to meet. Keep going, and things will be okay :) "

Laura

caitlin murfett

"hello, my name is caitlin. i have struggled with mental health issues since i was around 10 years old. this organisation means a lot to me and is very important for everyone to recognise. mental health is one of the most vital topics to talk about, because without talking about what is going on inside your head, it could lead to suicidal thoughts and actions on suicide. no one deserves to feel so unbelievably unloved, unappreciated, unrecognised and not worthy of life. i am very lucky and greatful to have support throughout my struggles with everything, it was a very long rough journey. but please, please, please, never hesitate to reach out to anyone for support or advice on how to go about this!!! it would mean a lot to me if anyone is able to donate anything at all to support lifeline with suicide prevention day coming up. get in and help out those who aren’t able to speak up and need to help to become stronger.

"I still remembered when I heard about this primary school friend’s devastating news when she took her own life. She was always the most joyful and outgoing person in the group. God knows how much pain and suffering she had to endure to make such heartbreaking decisions. I know what it feels like to be hopeless and helpless and thinking there is no way out. Its a dark dark place no one should ever have to go to. If only we can help save one person, or make one person feels they are not alone. Then I will call it a little win. Be kind to one another, because you never know the person next to you is struggling."

"This cause is for suicide prevention on our family member he left behind four amazing beautiful children who have to grive the loss of their dad which has resulted in a tragedy throughout the family , but with the daily burden of not having him around has taken an affect on all of us mentally physically and emotionally hence the reason which is lead us to the fundraising for suicide prevention as it is a great cause to such a tragedy after a family member has passed in such a way , not only will I be raising funds but we are also spreading the word out there about suicide prevention itself to keep Families closer and being able to talk to people without feeling like they’re a burden to their families and it’s such a huge sadness in the society.

for those struggling x

"I have struggled with my mental health for a few years now and didn’t tell anyone I was struggling, but I have gotten better. The future may not seem promising however it’s worth sticking around for. Don’t give up when you have your whole future ahead of you. Who cares what people think about you be yourself. People will always come and go but you will always be loved from many even if it feels like your alone so don’t give up now, you have a bright future ahead of you, and always remember you are loved 🩷"

"I know sometimes it feels like the only answer to stop the pain is suicide, but I hope by doing this we can bring the conversation out of the darkness so no more have to feel alone in this space and the intense depth of pain or numbness you felt in this life. May your suffering bring us to better solutions for the future. "

Eliza

"I am participating in the out of the shadows walk to raise money for lifeline. Lifeline has helped me countless times in my darkest moments on my battle and the least I can do is to raise money so that anyone can call lifeline in their own battle. I have struggled with suicidal thoughts since I was 8 and continue to have them today but continue to fight each day as it comes. I have had well over 50 admissions to psych units and cannot thank those who have supported me throughout so this is my way of showing my appreciation. "

To anyone who's ever felt alone

"Not everyone gets a second chance — I did. I was saved. No one should ever feel as alone as I once did. If you’re sitting there thinking there’s nothing left, that life has wrung you dry, that you’re done… I’ve been there. I know that pain that feels like it’ll never end. But hear me — someone loves you. Even if you can’t feel it right now. Even if your brain says you’re useless, you’re not. You matter more than you know. You are someone’s reason. Don’t forget that. YOU MATTER! "

Kody

"This is my son Kody and on the 24th of August this year will be 18months since he chose to leave us he was 20 at the time. He was finishing his trade as a mechanical fitter and planning on starting another trade, he had friends at work and a busy social life, he lived at home with me and his younger brother, saved money, had project cars, a new niece he adored and a good relationship with extended family and friends galore. A typical 20year old kicking goals. And from the outside everything looked fine. He had over 400 people at his funeral who were all there to support us and show their love to Kody. My life and that of his brothers and closest mates will never be the same. If he had of just sort some help in those darkest hours we would not be living this nightmare and living without him. "

My Why

"I know what it feels like to lose hope. To carry the weight of sadness in silence, to feel invisible even when surrounded by people, and to wonder if the world would be better without me in it. I’ve faced both the loud and quiet battles of suicide—moments of active pain, and the passive kind that lingers quietly in the background, whispering lies. But I’m still here. Not because it’s been easy—but because I’ve learned that even the tiniest spark of light can grow. Healing doesn’t happen overnight. Some days are still hard. But I walk forward knowing I’m not alone, and neither are you. I’m taking part in the Out of the Shadows walk because I believe in breaking the silence. I walk for myself, for those I’ve lost, and for anyone who feels like they’re walking through the dark alone. There is always hope. There is always help. And most of all—there is always a reason to stay. If you’re reading this and struggling, please hold on. Your story isn’t finished yet. And the world is better with you in it. 💛"

My baby brother

"The rest of our lives will be spent missing you more than you could ever know. We continue to wake each day and breathe in air that should be shared with you, but you aren’t here to witness the beauty of it with us. Pain and heartache has taken you from us, something that bleeds into our own lives in each and every moment spent without you. The only relief of not having you here, is knowing that you no longer battle with the hurt that you once carried. I love you so much, we all do, and I can’t wait to see you again one day."

Billy Rack

"Billy wasn’t just my Pop — he was one of those rare souls who lit up every room he walked into. He was cheeky, full of heart, always cracking a joke, and the type of person who’d give you the shirt off his back without a second thought. He had a love for life that was infectious — but like so many others, he also carried pain that not many people saw. Billy lost his battle with prostate cancer and suicide — something that shook our family to its core. His passing left a hole that will never truly be filled, but walking this 18km on World Suicide Prevention Day is one small way I can honour him and stand with others who are fighting silent battles every day."

We are not alone

" I have been through some difficult time and some of my family members and friends have been through tough times as well. Fortunately, we were able to open up to each other and we have got supports from each other. Sadly, there are some people out there who can’t get help of support like I did. And that must be horrifying and frustrating.. I hope nobody goes through the darkest times alone."

"Tribute to myself. I have tried to end my life well over 12x in the past 6 years 4 serious commas my last one was July the 11th 2024 which resulted in a 8 days life support and woke up on kidney dialysis and liver damage and other life threatening issues I was in icu for a month and ended up staying for 3 months in total, I'm still recovering but its been over a year now , and to me this is a big/small celebration as I have not tried to harm or tried anything on myself in over a year it used to be every 4 to 6 months , There is still a little bit of worth I'm seeing in myself I write this anonymously because my attempt was kept a secret and if I do do it again my body will not cope anymore and I will not survive , so I have that many people involved with my mental health so I do not do it again . I have many reason as to why I did it many times any they were very valid . I smile at EVERYONE that walks passed no matter were I am because u have no clue what that other person is going through so I hope my smile makes this person think and have a good day so everyone should do the same..

Charlie Wilcox

"Charlie was the kind of person who made you feel seen. He was thoughtful, quick to laugh, and always had time for others , even when he didn’t have enough time for himself. Losing him has left a space that words can’t fill, and a pain that we carry every day. On September 10th, World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re walking 9km in Charlie’s honour. One kilometre for each year we were lucky enough to have him in our lives. We’re walking to remember him, to speak his name, and to raise awareness for suicide prevention. This walk is for Charlie and for everyone who has ever felt alone in their struggle. Suicide doesn’t just end one life, it breaks the hearts of everyone left behind. That’s why we’re walking: to start conversations, to fight the stigma, and to remind people that it’s okay to ask for help. If you are struggling, please know that there is hope. There is help. You are not alone. Reach out to a friend, to family, or to Lifeline. Your life matters. You matter. We remember Charlie with love. We walk with purpose. And we carry his memory forward, step by step."

Sienna

"I am doing this walk in favour of myself, my mental health and how I've struggled so badly over the past 5 - 6 years with a mental battle with life and trying to find ways to help heal me. There is just way too much to say regarding those years gone by but this is a sign that I got help and I'm starting to heal. Although it is a challenge I feel this is one step forward for those 50 steps back. Keep pushing and no matter what happenes in life you are doing this walk because you finally chose to speak up. Little Sienna is proud."

William Stanley

"Hi friends, family, random person who stumbled upon this page, my name is William Stanley, I am currently studying a Diploma of Psychology at Monash University after finishing a PhD at the University of Melbourne to become a mental health control worker. I have been diagnosed with a variety of psychological disorders (AOD, Anorexia, Bulimia, BPD, Complex PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder) which have left me physically and psychologically unable to work and have been struggling with multiple suicide attempts over the past year as it seemed the only way to get peace from the constant pain I am in. Is it the answer, no, but that's where the irrationality of suicide leaves you. I have been working with my mental health team harder than ever to develop stress response and emotional regulation strategies to help me cope when I get into that state of desperation. I have also returned to AA after a slip up a few weeks ago and it seems a constant theme that if I drink I will eventually drink to the point I want to die again. So no I can’t just have one drink because that may end my life. I am doing this for all my family and friends, but mostly myself. I want to find the old me but a new and improved version that won’t let life tear them down and can instead stand up and fight. All I want in life is to help people, but right now I have to help myself. Peace "

"I am walking in memory of my dad who we sadly lost in 2022. He was the funniest, wittiest and most caring person you could ever meet. He made everybody laugh. He also spent over 30 years as a paramedic, helping people, saving lives and caring for his community. He was a huuuuuge Geelong cats fan, his whole wardrobe was blue and white with a Geelong cats cap in summer and beanie in winter. We loved thunderstorms and going to the cinema together to watch scary films. He is absolutely irreplaceable and left a huge hole in my life, but he still fills every space in my heart. Now I live to be a parent just like him to my own daughters. Trying to bring as much laughter, fun and joy into their lives as he did mine. I love you so so much dad, im luckiest girl on earth to have had you as my dad. I know you will be walking with me on this walk, telling me to pick up the pace 😄 go cats!"

These experiences have shaped me into the person I am today and have formed the values i operate under. "

"I was going through a very dark time in 2019 when I was pregnant with my daughter. I still remember this night to this day and my mind frame in general during this period of time. On this particular night I felt like I had nobody. I actually didn’t and something clicked in my mind to ring lifeline. I had never called Lifeline before. I had rang lifeline and was on the phone to them for a good 3 hours and honestly the feeling of relief and the happiness it brought back to my soul was indescribable. I really felt like I mattered to this world and to be here today. I was at such a low point being ripped away from my eldest daughter who was my only child at the time and her being my rock to be on my own and going through not only depression but family violence also and isolation during covid. Lifeline really did save me that night and it just felt so nice talking to someone who understands and didn’t judge me and just listened to me. I will be forever grateful. I have told some friends and people I have met along the way how grateful I am for Lifeline and how it saved me. I’m so appreciative. Thank you Lifeline. "

"Facing suicide is the worst thing that I have encountered in my life. It's something that changes your life forever. Never understanding the whys and what ifs takes such a large piece of your future. It leaves a crater in your heart and you are never the same. I am walking to honour my daughter Michelle and every step I will tell myself I am doing this to help others so they make themselves aware that suicide effects the lives forever of the loved ones left behind. There is always hope and they must dig deeper to prevent themselves from doing this to themselves and the consequences it has on their family and friends. Join me and others to do this walk and be a part of helping someone out there who is lost and contemplating this act to end their life. It's not only for a great cause to participate, it's great for your own health."

"Hi everyone, I'm walking for Lifeline because I'm still here and that means something. In 2023, when I was 22 years old, I survived my own suicide attempt. It was the darkest time in my life, but I came through it. This walk for me is my way of honoring that journey and reminding others that even in the deepest pain, there is hope. This is my second walk for Lifeline and l've decided to walk 18km. As someone who has battled depression and found the strength to keep going, I will walk to spread light for others who might be struggling in silence. Thankyou for sharing your stories it makes you feel less alone. "

I didn’t know every part of his story, but I knew enough to feel the loss. He was quiet, kind, and carried more than he let on. Finding him that day changed something in me. But he left me his trust—his dog. I’ve got your dog, and she will do this walk with me. Every step, she’ll be by my side and so will you. I hope you’ve found peace now, Gary. You mattered. You still do. "

Jimmy Campbell (Pop), Kenny Campbell & Elsie Boyle

"I never got to meet my great uncle Kenny, he left this place long before I was born. My great aunt Elsie also fell victim to her depression & grief before I could know her. But I grew up hearing stories of them both, and the countless others in my family tree who experienced such trauma and mental ill health that they made attempts, spent time in hospital, had awful medical interventions, but who were able to find hope to carry on. Just like my Pop. He suffered more than a person should. A difficult childhood, 3 years in the Korean War, and Bipolar Disorder and addiction. He teetered on the edge of life and death many times. His attempts were numerous, and his time institutionalised, lengthy. But he got better. All of my memories of him are warm, happy, funny. But hearing his stories of his struggle, it helped me when I was eventually diagnosed with Bipolar and had my own torments about staying earthside. His ability to stay, in spite of his pain and trauma, knowing his brother Kenny couldn’t, helped me to hang in there for just a bit longer and give recovery things a go. Because if my Pop hadn’t have fought and accepted treatment and told someone what was going on in his brain, he wouldn’t have been around to pass on his wisdom, and my outcome might have been different. To Kenny and Elise who weren’t able to find hope, to my Pop, Jimmy, who was. To me, who leaned on the strength of my ancestors journeys, and strength to those currently sitting in the darkness feeling like the light is too far away…… it’s just around the corner"

🕊️ In Loving Memory of Peter Jason Roland Grygiel 29/08/1995 – 08/05/2023

"Two years ago, on the 8th of May, the love of my life took his own life. Peter struggled with addiction and mental health, battles that too often go unseen and misunderstood. But anyone who truly knew him saw the heart of gold beneath it all. He was the kind of person who would give everything he had - time, energy, love - to lift someone else up. He made people feel seen, safe, and valued. He was an incredible father, partner, brother, son and friend, and he went above and beyond for the ones he cared about. He made our world warmer. We have two beautiful daughters together, Harper (11) and Layla (6). They carry his spark in their eyes and his kindness in their hearts. But they are growing up without their dad, and that’s a pain no child should have to bear. Our family feels his absence every single day. There’s a hole where his laughter, his love, and his light used to be. To have known how brightly he shined - and then be forced to live without that - is cruel. It hurts in ways words can’t fully express. Suicide has affected my family and those I care about in a massive way. It’s terrifying how rapidly it’s increasing each year. The symptoms can be heartbreakingly easy to hide - until it’s too late. That’s why we need to talk about it. We need to check in, listen deeply, and make space for vulnerability. Especially for parents and caregivers who carry so much - your pain matters, your story matters, and your life matters. I hope Lifeline can be a support for someone who needs it today. Peter, we love you forever and always. We miss you endlessly. We carry you with us in everything we do, until we meet again my love 🌹 📞 If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14. "

To All

"This walk is incredibly personal to me. It’s for those who we’ve lost too soon. For the quiet fighters who carry so much behind their smiles. And for the moments that still sit heavy in my heart. On World Suicide Prevention Day, I’ll be walking in the Out of the Shadows event. Thinking of those we’ve lost and carrying love and strength for those who are struggling today. I’m walking to honour memories. To stand with anyone who feels alone in what they’re going through. To say: you matter. You’re loved. And you’re never truly alone. If you feel moved to support me, your donation will help Lifeline continue to be a light in someone’s darkest moment. Together, we can make a difference one step, one conversation, one life at a time. 💛"

Paityn

"Hi, I am taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking 9km for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day. Sadly, over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide every year. These people are our family, friends and loved ones. I’m Walking to Keep Going. I’ve lived with depression since I was 16. But this last year… it’s broken me in ways I didn’t know were possible. Infertility and IVF have consumed my world. Month after month, cycle after cycle, I’ve clung to hope, only to face loss after loss. Each one has taken a piece of me with it. I feel like I’m disappearing, like I’m losing myself in this battle that no one around me truly understands. People say, “Reach out, talk to someone.” But how do you put into words the weight of your own mind? How do you explain the silent heartbreak of seeing your dreams slip further away, when no one in your life has lived this pain? There are days I feel completely alone. Days I wonder if the fight is too heavy. But I’m still here. I’m still standing. And I refuse to give up. This walk is my promise to myself,to keep moving, to keep fighting, to keep showing up for the people who feel like they can’t anymore. I’m walking for me. I’m walking for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their pain. I’m walking because hope is still in me, even when it’s hard to see. If you can, please support my walk or donate. Your support isn’t just for me it’s for everyone still fighting to stay. 💛 "

My Beautiful Mumma

"Sadly, a few months ago, my beautiful Mum lost her battle with her mental health and took her own life. At first, I didn’t want anyone to know that this is how she passed as I didn’t want people to think of her differently, to see her in that way. I now realise how silly that was. Would you think of someone any less if they passed away from any other kind of health issue? The answer is no. And the reality is that there is a stupid stigma around mental health that brings with it shame and embarrassment that nobody should have to feel. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and you should never feel less than if you need some help. It really is okay not be okay, but it is so important not to hide those feelings, to seek the help that you need. I am sharing this not only to honour my beautiful Mum, and help raise money for lifeline and suicide prevention, but also as a reminder: Check in with the ones you love, know that you are not alone in your feelings and that you should never be ashamed to seek help, and remember that YOU ARE LOVED 💜"

Walking with Purpose

"This walk is deeply personal to me. I’m walking in honour of those we’ve lost, those who are struggling, and those who continue to fight for hope. Every step is a reminder that we’re never truly alone—and that speaking up, showing up, and supporting each other can change lives."

I love you always, I love you still, I miss you deeply & always will, until the day our souls reunite, I look to the stars that shine so bright while you gaze upon & look down on me at night it's in that moment I feel & know everything will be alright.

Kirk Oliver

"Participating in the Out of the Shadows Walk is a meaningful way to honor my dad, who tragically lost his life to suicide when I was just 1½ years old. Though I never had the chance to know him personally, his presence is felt deeply in my life through the stories shared by family and friends. Losing a parent at such a young age has profoundly shaped my life. Growing up without him has been a challenging journey filled with feelings of loss and longing. I often grappled with the absence of a father figure, which left a void that was difficult to fill. The emotional weight of this loss has sometimes manifested in feelings of sadness and isolation, leading to mental health challenges that I have had to navigate throughout my life. As I grew older, I began to understand the impact of grief and how it can affect one's mental well-being. I faced moments of anxiety and depression, often feeling overwhelmed by the weight of my emotions. The struggle to process my feelings about my dad's death and the longing for a relationship I never had has been a significant part of my journey. However, these experiences have also taught me resilience and the importance of seeking help when needed. This walk is not just a tribute to my dad's memory but also a call to raise awareness about mental health and the importance of seeking help. I hope to inspire others to break the silence surrounding mental health issues, encouraging open conversations and support for those in need. By participating in this event, I aim to honor his memory while also advocating for those who may be struggling in silence, just as I once did."

My Younger Self

"Since I was young, I have always struggled with mental health and for many many years I suffered alone. When the events of 08&09 happened I had begged the heavens if there was a God to take me and give back my grandmother FOR MONTHS. A few years later I then started expressing those thoughts as self harm which led to 3 Suicide attempts all by the time I was 17. I still struggle to this day. I use to live for my special needs sister and now live for my beautiful three children. But I still have those thoughts, those feelings. I am currently working with someone to address them and work on them along side my quality of life. It's a very hard and stumble path and that is why I'm doing it. Please support me and those who are seeking the same help or looking to reach out. Every dollar matters and I'll be donating myself closer to the day. Thank you for reading this far, Caity xo"

Emilyn

"I’m walking for one week to honour lives lost to suicide and support those struggling right now — including myself. Every year, more than 65,000 Australians attempt suicide, and tragically, over 3,000 lose their lives. This cause hits close to home for me. I’ve faced my own lifelong struggles with mental health, and I know how dark and lonely it can feel. That’s why this walk means so much — it’s not just for others, it’s also for me. For survival. For healing. For hope. Lifeline answers over 1 million cries for help each year — a powerful reminder that so many people are holding on by a thread, just needing someone to listen. The impact of suicide is heartbreaking. It ripples through families, friends, and entire communities. This World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10), I’m joining Out of the Shadows, walking over 7 days to honour the 9 Australians we lose to suicide every single day. I’m walking to raise funds for Lifeline, so they can continue to provide life-saving support for those in crisis — and be the light for someone when they need it most. If you can, please sponsor my walk. Every dollar can make a difference. Every step I take is for the ones we’ve lost, the ones still fighting, and those — like me — finding their way through. Together, we can make sure no one has to face their darkest days alone."

I only wish I had spent more time with you, knowing our conversations in the past. If I had, would I be writing this tribute out to you? You gave me inspiration to get back up and walking when I was down, and I bagged the mountain we were always talking about in your name. This year, I do the south cape for you and everyone else we have lost mate. Still miss you everyday. Love you mate."

"Walking Out of the Shadows – For Josh, Malachi, and Clint This year, I’m taking part in the Out of the Shadows Walk to shine a light on something that touches far too many lives — suicide. I’m walking for my nephew Josh, his mate Malachi, and my dear friend Clint. Three incredible lives, gone too soon. Each of them was loved deeply. Each of them left a space no one else can fill. And each of them reminds me why this walk — and this cause — matters so much. Suicide doesn’t just end one life — it sends shockwaves through families, friends, communities. But together, we can fight back against the silence. We can raise awareness, support those in crisis, and make sure no one walks through the darkness alone. I’m walking to remember. I’m walking to raise awareness. I’m walking so that someone else’s Josh, Malachi, or Clint gets the help they need before it’s too late. Your donation — no matter how big or small — supports Lifeline, a lifeline (literally) for people who are struggling. It helps provide crisis support, suicide prevention services, and hope. Let’s walk together, out of the shadows and into the light."

"This walk is also in honour of the doctors we have lost to suicide, colleagues who dedicated their lives to caring for others, yet carried burdens too heavy to share. The system that was meant to support them too often failed to protect them. Their absence is a profound loss to our profession and a stark reminder that compassion must extend to ourselves and each other. May we never forget their stories, and may we continue to walk toward a future where no doctor feels alone in their struggle."

I’m still heartbroken that your pain became too heavy to carry, and that you never got the chance to find the peace and happiness you so deserved. It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since you left. You’d be proud to know I eventually found some calm in my own storm. I know you'd be cheering me on, just like you always did. I’m so grateful for every moment that we spent together on this earth, and I will carry your memory with me always. xo"

"This walk is deeply personal. Both my daughter and I have battled depression and mental health challenges, and between us, we've faced multiple suicide attempts. It’s a road we've known too well, and a pain that’s hard to put into words. But this walk isn’t just about loss—it's about connection, remembrance, and hope. I’m walking to show that you don’t have to walk alone through your struggles. There is strength in vulnerability, and healing in community. If you or someone you love is struggling, please know: you matter. You are not alone."

Hurt (Song) by Nine Inch Nails (1994), Johnny Cash (2002)

"I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of shit Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Trent Reznor Hurt lyrics © Arlovol Music, Leaving Hope Music Inc"

"In Loving Memory of Our Beloved son forever 15, Our precious boy was a burst of light , full of boundless energy, a smile that lit up every room, and a spirit that soared on every sports field. He was our pride, our laughter, our joy in motion. A loving son, a cherished brother-his presence made life brighter. The pain of his absence is a weight we carry each day; his memory etched in every heartbeat. though we can no longer hold him, he lives on in every story, every tear, and every whispered "we love you" xxx "

- Francois Selvan

Everyone I've Lost

"Over the years, I’ve lost far too many friends to suicide—each one leaving behind a silence that echoes every day. This cause isn’t just important to me. It’s personal. With so many gone, my only hope now is that this effort can help save those still here. If even one life is changed—if even one person feels seen, heard, and chooses to stay—then every step I take is worth it. This is for them. And for those still fighting. You’re not alone."

- John Steele

My Dad, Rob

"My Dad was a gentle giant. He was kind, caring and thoughtful. He had a big beautiful laugh that bought so much joy to all around him. But his demons were too dark, his scars were too painful, his nightmares were too real. Calls left unanswered. Long waiting lists. Expensive clinics 700km from home. He left this world feeling he could not be helped, from a health system that let him down. I don’t want anyone else to feel this way. "

Ben, Sav & Martin

"Today, we hold space for three beautiful souls — Sav, Ben, and Martin — whose light continues to shine in our hearts, even though they are no longer by our side. Sav, your smile lit up every room. You danced through life with kindness, humour, and an infectious joy that lifted everyone around you. You were bold, creative, and full of heart — the kind of person who made the world brighter just by being in it. Ben, your strength, loyalty, and gentle nature left a lasting mark on those lucky enough to know you. A protector, a friend, a son — you carried a quiet warmth that spoke volumes without needing many words. Your love for family and community still echoes in every memory. Martin, you were a true light in this world — thoughtful, spirited, and endlessly kind. You brought calm to chaos and laughter to the darkest days. The image of you as an angel isn’t just symbolic — it feels real. That’s how many of us see you now: watching over us, wings wide, heart open. Each of you left a legacy of love, courage, and connection. We miss you deeply, but we feel you in sunsets, in music, in waves of laughter — in all the small, everyday moments that remind us of who you were. We love you. We honour you. We will never forget you. Fly high, always. 🕊️❤️"

To Anyone who needs it...

"⚠️ Read this like someone’s life depends on it — because it just might. Suicidal people don’t always reach out. Not because they don’t want to live… but because they don’t want to be a burden. Because silence feels safer than the shame of being misunderstood. Because they’ve learned that the world applauds “strength” and quietly ignores suffering unless it screams. We love to say “talk to someone.” But here's the brutal truth: Most people who are spiralling won’t talk. They’re already fighting for their life in silence. They’re exhausted from putting on the mask. They feel like ghosts in crowded rooms — invisible, numb, gone before they're gone. So don’t wait. Don’t wait for the text, the cry for help, the warning sign. Be the person who checks in first. Be the annoying, persistent, loving friend who gives a damn when it feels like no one else does. You might have walked past someone today who is planning their death for tomorrow. Not because they’re selfish. Not because they want attention. But because they truly believe the world would be better off without them. That’s what suicide really looks like. It’s not drama. It’s despair so deep that hope becomes invisible. It’s wanting to disappear — not for revenge, but for relief. 💥 So hear this: if you are that person right now… You who feels too much, cares too deeply, loves too loudly in a world that has been far too cruel to soft hearts — You are not broken. You are not weak. You are not too much. You are rare. You are needed. You are the medicine this world doesn't even know it’s dying for. Your emotions are not too big — they are the proof that you're still alive. Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw — it’s a superpower. Your story isn’t over — it’s just tangled in a chapter that feels impossible right now. But I swear to you — impossible is not the same as final. 💔 If you’ve been hurt, dismissed, invalidated — I see you. If you’ve tried to speak up and were met with silence or shame — I’m sorry. If you’ve learned to fake smiles because real ones stopped showing up — you are not alone. I’m not a therapist. I don’t have all the answers. But I have ears. And I have a heart that still believes in the power of human connection. And I will never think you’re too broken, too needy, or too far gone. Because I’ve walked through hell too — and I know you can come back. So here’s the challenge for the rest of us: Love louder. Check in sooner. Reach deeper. Forgive quicker. Stop waiting. Stop writing people off as “too much,” “too distant,” or “too difficult.” The ones who seem the hardest to love are often the ones who need it the most. Go love on the weird kid eating lunch alone. Go hug the girl who’s always “fine” and never lets it slip. Go extend grace to the guy who lashes out and pushes everyone away — that’s a trauma response, not a personality flaw. Go remind someone — anyone — that their life is not just bearable, but beautiful. If you’re reading this and you’re in the pit — Stay. Please. Stay. Let this be the post that made you pause. That made you breathe. That made you believe — even if just for one more day. 🕊️ You are loved. You are worthy. You are not a burden. You are the light you keep looking for. And even if we’ve never met — I’m here. Not with solutions. Just with presence. And sometimes, that’s enough. You are not alone. Let’s show up for each other like it matters. Because it does. Peace, fire and ferocious love, always. — Jo ❤️‍🔥"

"Dad was a man of boundless love and compassion, talent and deep wisdom. His presence in our lives was one we cherished every day. But what we will miss most about dad is his sense of humour. He never once failed to put a smile on the faces around him or turned something serious into a good time, just to see the people around him smile. He had this presence that made anyone feel capable and valued. Though dad has left us, his spirits lives on, the lessons he taught us and the loved he shared. We will carry his memory in our hearts forever, grateful for the time we had with him and the profound impact he made in our lives, you will truely be forever missed dad. You were always loved more than you knew. May you now rest in peace and all your sorrows lay at ease. Love always and forever thinking of you. "

Senja

"**In Loving Memory of Senja** Senja, you have never left the minds or hearts of the people who loved you. Your presence, your laughter, your kindness – they live on in the memories we hold close. You left this world too soon, a father of three beautiful children, without the support and help you deserved. Your passing has deeply impacted so many, especially within the Deaf community, who continue to grieve and carry your story forward. The pain of your loss is a stark reminder that mental health support is still out of reach for many Deaf people. Resources in Auslan are limited, and too often, barriers stand in the way of help, healing, and hope. Today, we walk *Out of the Shadow* in your name – to honour you, to speak up, and to fight for change. We walk for a future where every Deaf person can access support in their language, where no one is left behind, and where families like yours are never made to walk alone. You are loved. You are missed. You will never be forgotten. 🩵"

Hannah Friebel

"My friend Hannah is one of the most incredible people I have met and our friendship spans across so many contexts. Hannah is a fellow artist, discussing art projects and creative ideas, giving each other feedback on poetry and attending each other's performances. We have done a photoshoots together, including me photographing her engagement photos and her wedding. 📷💃 Beyond that, she is a fellow carer, an empathetic heart committed to the well-being of others, particularly those navigating neurodivergence or lived experience in mental health challenge. 💭💙 Beyond that, she is my sister in faith, singing and worshipping together at St Caths, praying with and for each other, honestly sharing as we navigate across the peaks and through the valleys. 🌄🙏 Beyond that, she is my friend, taking the time to show up, to walk with me, to share ice cream in the park, to sit and listen in the moments of sad and happy, content and discontent. 🍦🌅 I feel the heaviness of farewelling someone long before I am ready to say goodbye. I cannot bring myself to write in past tense because I do not believe that death is the end. ⛵😢 At some point, beyond this time, I believe in a new chapter of our friendship being written come Eternity. I anticipate and wait for a epic homecoming reunion, with new stories, new songs, new smiles, new days. 🏞️👣 I believe in the God who loves us as His kids, much more than we can love ourselves. I believe in the God who can take better care of us than even we can. 💗🫂 Hannah, I commit you to His care. Until we meet again, my creative, colourful, caring friend, it's been a privilege to journey with you. Thank you for everything. I am missing you. 👐🌿"

Andrew

" Losing a child, no matter the age, is something no parent should have to go through. We think we have it tough, we who are left behind, and it is tough....but just think of how tough it was for those dear ones who couldn't hold on any longer. Andrew faced his darkest moments alone. He was a proud young man who would not worry another with his problems. I just wished I could have known how tough things were for him. If love could have held him, he would still be here today. Andrew was a son, a dad, a brother, an uncle and a very unique man with a beautiful giving heart. He ran a successful business that was doing extremely well. He had his toys, a motorbike and 2 boats, and a real estate portfolio. He even had a new home underway on the canals on the Gold Coast. I guess you could say, he had it all. But obviously he didn't see it that way. Six years ago, he decided to end his life, and our lives have been forever changed. He was loved by many It was such a devastating loss. Please, if you are going through a tough time, reach out to a friend or ring LifeLine. Seek help and talk it out. You are not alone. RIP my darling son Andrew until we meet again. Forever young. (9.3.1976 to 13.1.2019)"
