PHOENIX — Talking about suicide can be difficult, but the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix is trying to bring those conversations to the forefront and remember those who died while helping surviving loved ones.
Manny Buso told ABC15 that one of his close friends died by suicide decades ago, but it still hurts to this day. To go to the mass, in remembrance of him, made him feel a little better.Buso wasn’t alone on Sunday, feeling the same grief as many others. It’s something Bishop John Dolan says is important to share with one another.
The Bishop himself is feeling the loss of his family, as he told ABC15 he had three siblings and a brother-in-law die by suicide. That’s why Bishop Dolan wanted to help other survivors of suicide loss, by having an annual Mass of Remembrance for those who died by suicide and remembering their names. He wanted to bring conversations about mental health into the cathedral and let people know they’re not alone during National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
