Candle-lighting Ceremony for all those
Affected by the Tragedy of Suicide
Denver, Colorado. August
26, 2014. Imagine a world free
from the tragedy of suicide. Imagine a world where people bereaved by suicide
could honor their loved ones with dignity and those who have survived their own
suicide attempts could access supports needed and be empowered in their
recovery. World Suicide Prevention Day represents a call for action and
involvement by all governments and organizations worldwide to contribute to the
cause of suicide awareness and prevention through activities, events,
conferences and campaigns in their country. By collaborating together in this
endeavor, we can indeed save lives. Around the globe, on World Suicide
Prevention Day, September 10th at 8:00pm, people will be gathering
to recognize this mission by lighting a candle wherever they are. In Denver,
the Carson J Spencer Foundation is hosting a public candle-lighting ceremony on
the plaza Union Station. The ritual will be preceded by a brief reception
inside Union Station.|
