Charles,
Since January 2005 there have been several suicide on the Tobique Reserve, for privacy reasons the police reports and newspapers respects the wishes of
the families.
I am not to write about the suicides
or who died, but these are terrible deaths by hanging.
Three young people chose to take their
lives all before the ages of 30.
To me this is way too young.
To think that life is over and that
there is no other option is unjustified, and the way that these young lives are swept under the carpet is not a good way to help with suicide prevention.
The turmoil and the depression that these young youths are suffering are being ignored, but three deaths by
hanging needs to be addressed.
Any suicide needs to be addressed not shoved away like they didn't exist,
somethings wrong, not with these individuals who took their own lives, but the way of life they had lived needs to be looked.

The loss of these precious human beings is very sad and Heartbreaking to say the least. It is so very difficult to grasp that any human being regardless of their cultural background or, Nationality, would wish to end their own lives. this is a prime example that the current system is unable to address the problems of the deeply seeded problems that Many of our Native Brothers and sisters have been battling with since the European settlers arrived in this part of the world. My heart and my prayers I extend to the surviving members of their families. I praay that God in his love and mercy will console and comfort them especially at this most difficult time. May God hold each of the surviving family members in his arms of love and draw them to himself and make himself very real to them.
