BLOGs of interest - Suicide Prevention

I had a difficult time finding BLOGs that relate specifically to Suicide Prevention or how to cope in the aftermath of a suicide. Here are the few I found.
Alive Campaign for Suicide Prevention: Waco, TX, United States Nathan Lloyd, Justin Brown, Kyle Ferguson, Alyson Erikson, and Andi Nakasone, will bike from Waco TX, to Anchorage Alaska. This is their amazing story.

Suicide Prevention Help is written by Kenneth Hemmerick.  There is an extensive directory of global suicide prevention resources
Suicide Prevention From India: Suicide is a cry for help not a wish to die, preventing suicide is everyone's responsibility, let's talk about suicide and prevent it

Heather Hays - As a News Anchor I report on what's going on in the world around us - except something that takes a life every 16 minutes. That's because people rarely talk about suicide. I want to change that through my book Surviving Suicide: Help to Heal Your Heart.
Specifically For Veterans
Oh My Gov - For Veterans, a virtual world of support. DoD taps into Second Life
US Department of Defense Military Health System Blog - Index of articles related specifically to suicide in the military and its prevention.
Army Well-Being covers a variety of topics, not just suicide and suicide prevention. This link will display the suicide related postings.
Other Resources - not Blogs per se, but still look like good resources:
BlogTalk Radio – Talk Radio Podcasts on suicide and prevention related topics.
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)  Find links to articles and resources under the headings of General Information, Scientific Information, What's New and Featured Resources.
