Collateral Damage Invitation

Collateral Damage: Images of Those Left Behind by Suicide, will be a book of portraits, a website and gallery exhibition, telling the stories of people who have lost loved ones through suicide. When I was 16, my father took his own life. Although I have always been honest and open about how he died, I often felt I was left to deal with my pain and recovery in solitude - my grief paralyzed by the social stigma associated with such an act. Even now, 27 years later, I still have so many questions.

Through this book of images, I hope to find some answers and at the very least, start a long, overdue conversation.

I invite and welcome all those who have lost a loved one to suicide to come forward to be a part of this project.

By coming forward, you will help to lessen the stigma of suicide, and begin a dialogue of healing.
