Last Saturday, International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day brought together more than 70 individuals carrying the weight of su***de loss. We were deeply moved to see each person take a brave step towards hope and healing, finding comfort in a community that shares a similar journey.

We are grateful to our panellists, who shared their stories with vulnerability and courage. Their voices offered strength to others walking a similar path and reminded us that love and grief can coexist, even in the midst of pain.

Together, we honoured our loved ones by remembering the lives they lived. It was a reminder that even in the heaviest moments, a safe and understanding community can provide the support we need.

If you have experienced su***de loss, you do not have to navigate this difficult time alone. Support and resources are available on our website (www.sos.org.sg/sos-brochures) or you may reach out to our counselling team at pat@sos.org.sg.

You are not alone.

Last Friday, we were honoured to welcome Mdm Halimah Yacob, former President of Singapore and Chancellor of Singapore University of Social Sciences, as our Guest of Honour at the official light up ceremony for 2025, co-organised with TRCL, SPD and KDF.

The glowing avenue of Christmas trees along the Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade stands as a beacon of hope to those in need, shining for every individual who has ever felt alone, and for those who have lost someone they love.

We are deeply grateful to our donors whose generosity has brought light and hope into the lives of those we serve. Collectively among the four charities, we have raised $995,458.

There is still so much more that we can achieve together for su***de prevention. If you would like to make a difference this season of giving, please visit bit.ly/ChariTrees2025 to donate now.

The ChariTrees light-up will be on display from now till 26 December 2025, and we invite you to take a walk with your loved ones through this meaningful space of remembrance and hope during this festive season.

When someone says “I’m going to kill myself,” most of us freeze or shut them down.

Rui (not his real name), who has lived through suicidal thoughts, shares: “People who say ‘I’m going to end it’ are asking for help in the only way they can.”

Rui’s story is a reminder that suicidal ideation happens, and there are signs when someone needs help. When we respond with presence and empathy, we validate their pain. When we provide a listening ear and connect them to support, we become lifelines.

Not all crises look the same — some happen in hospitals and others in homes. Some are visible and others happen in the inner walls of our minds.

At Samaritans of Singapore, we ensure access to support in every moment. Our 24-hour Hotline and 24-hour CareText services offer 24/7 emotional support, while our specialist counselling and support groups provide longer-term care to help you navigate the pain you’re experiencing.

When life feels like too much, we listen.

Last week, SOS was honoured to host 15 representatives from 澳門明愛 Caritas de Macau Lifehope Hotline.

Through this meaningful exchange, we shared more about our 24-hour Crisis Lifelines, volunteer training framework, and community outreach initiatives, while gaining a fresh perspective on Caritas Macau's approaches and experiences in preventing su***des.

Such exchanges help broaden both our organisation's knowledge, enhance our practices, and reminds us that collaboration is key to building resilient support systems for both our volunteers and the individuals that we serve.

Thank you, Caritas Macau Lifehope Hotline, for your visit and efforts in fostering greater care and compassion for those in crisis. Together, we strive towards a stronger safety net of hope within our communities and across borders.
