'A Beastly Burden' - a comic on losing someone to suicide

Hey guys,

I ran in to this journalistic comic on losing someone to suicide, today, called "A Beastly Burden". The team and I thought it was quite well made with some powerful messages and illustrations. Thought it was worth sharing. :)

What do you guys think?

    Thank you so much for sharing that comic, I read it all and something about it just hit me (in a good way) and made me think. If I get the guts, I may even share this with my parents someday .....perhaps it would get through to them. I wish they could see the part about the space to recover.

    I'm really not just saying this, I mean it, thank you so much :heart:

    Seems like it really resonated with you, apandav. I do hope it comes in useful. :)

    You're very welcome. *hug*

    I agree, so well made with some very important messages. It's really good to see a new perspective on this theme, too.

    Thanks for sharing ^-^

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for sharing this article with us-It was really interesting to have a look at and view this comic based on Suicide and was good to see other insights and view points/perspectives into the topic x

    Really glad you all like it! :) Apparently, it blew up over in the Netherlands, so the author translated and adapted it for global access.

    This is the same thing I've read hundreds of times, Not the exact same thing, I mean it says the same things, I guess it might help someone with no clue.....I dunno.

    Interesting to hear your side, Em. What would you add/remove/change, out of curiosity?
