INVISIBLE CASUALTIES second life THE TRAGEDY OF SUICIDE is not only the loss of an individual but the profound grief that is left behind. We asked relatives of military members and veterans who died by suicide to tell their stories. They are men and women who are, as one put it, members of a group you never want to be part of. They hope their stories will help other suicide survivors find comfort, and will convince those at risk of suicide to seek help now. DANNY WEISS RICHARD STUMpf JEFFREY SVOBODA Benjamin t. Miller
