"There's a lot of guilt and a lot of anxiety that goes along with it. What could I have done, why didn't I notice the symptoms or the signs.""It's always easy to question in retrospect because it's such a heavy topic," said Dr. Tanuja Gandhi, a psychiatrist at Bradley Hospital who works with both children and adults. "I think it's really important to reach out to a counselor or a therapist or to your friends and family to process those feelings," said Gandhi."There's so many different emotions you go through in the grieving process," said Mosley. She got involved with the American Foundation for Suicide prevention after her brothers' death, becoming the loss and healing committee chair, helping others process their grief.But then life became too much, even for her."In June I ended up having my own mental health crisis, where those suicide thoughts were creeping in to my brain," said Mosley. "You have to watch for those signs and if you ever have those thoughts of like I started to search my options and that was very scary for me and the worst part about it was actually feeling 'Oh my God, this is what my brother must've been feeling like."Her message is this:"It's a permanent solution to a temporary situation," said Mosley who sought help and is doing well."If we can normalize conversations around people being sad when bad things happen or sad things happen and sometimes it's so hard for them to get out of the sadness that they have thoughts of dying," said Gandhi. "If we can change the tone around those conversations I think it's easier to pick up on those signs."<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3c3ZMp_0vjigedJ00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3c3ZMp_0vjigedJ00" width="648" height="365" >If you are in crisis, at any time, you can dial the suicide prevention hotline, 988The American Federation for Suicide Prevention also offers resources, including one called Talk Saves LivesThey also have an upcoming walk--it's called Out of the Darkness--a fundraiser to fund these programs and research.</div></body>
