A tear falls down Sarah Madison's face as she despairingly walks through the cold, lifeless tombstones until she stops. Holding herself together, she slowly kneels and places the rose bouquet next to the gravestone. As she stares at the name engraved on the tombstone, she remembers that horrible night, all over again. Three months ago, Sarah's world came crashing down. Sarah, her husband Paul, and their youngest child, Alex, had gone out to dinner on September21. When they arrived home, their daughter, Raven was nowhere in sight. They called and called her name but there was no answer. Frantically they all searched the house hoping to find her. Alex went to look in her room and he screamed. Paul and Sarah rushed over to find Alex standing at the foot of Raven's closet door. They found her. Raven committed suicide on September 21, 2003. No one knew that she suffered from severe depression since she was 12 years old. It got so bad that Raven ended her life because she could not bear to wake up to another day. Silence is a person's loudest cry. Every 40 seconds, a teen dies from suicide. You have the power to help them. Will you? Hanging by a Thread.
