Tomorrow, as we mark World Suicide Prevention Day, Amanda Cassidy speaks to one woman whose brother sadly took his own life four years ago.

“It was a sunny Sunday and a few of us had been out the night before so we slept late at a friend’s house but my mum called around 11am to see if we’d heard from Dave.

Despite all our appeals on social media, we heard nothing that day. It was heartwrenching to try to sleep that night knowing, well, knowing nothing really, but actually feeling deep down that nothing would be the same again. World Suicide Prevention Day is September 10th. It is traditionally an awareness day in order to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides.
