The Shadow of Suicide In Britain suicide is as common as death on the roads. Every year 5,000 people kill themselves and many more attempt to. Almost everybody who has lost someone close through suicide feels isolated from the rest of us - normal grief is intensified by feelings of guilt, shame and rejection. 'I feel that because of the suicide other people are afraid of me ... I want contact, but there is space between me and most people around me.'
Three families left behind talk about how they feel one year, three years and nine years after a suicide.
