@Isabella YAY you and @Raul for furthering discussion and awareness about mental illness via #mentalcamp. I’ll do what I can to promote it when the time is nearer.
@Wendy all I can say is I’m so sorry that not only did you have the grief of your son’s suicide, you also have experienced being shunned. Thank you for leaving your comment on Isabella’s blog.

My son died by suicide. I can not begin to tell you the friends we have lost, the people who have turned away from us – all because we choose to be forthright and open about his suicide. The newspaper would not allow us to enter that his death was by suicide. They said it would make people copy what he did!!! We didn’t want to provide all the details of how, we wanted to provide the why…. No dice. My son died because he was afraid to say – I’m thinking about suicide. NO ONE should be afraid to talk or speak up about how they feel, what they think or suicide in general. We have definitely felt we have been “shunned”.

evan, you're the second person who suggests the word "shunned". i think that in this connection, that word is much better than stigmatization. it is the looking away, the exclusion, that we're talking about here, not the branding that is meant my stigmatization. .-= isabella mori (@moritherapy)´s last blog ..stigmatization through silence =-.
