Thursday the 10th of September was ‘World Suicide Prevention’ day. It was also three days before Carmel Lynch buried her daughter Rebecca, who died from suicide.

26-year-old Rebecca Molloy from Letterkenny was working in America but sadly took her own life and shot herself on the 3rd of September.

Carmel spoke to Colette Fitzpatrick on the show about her daughter, saying she is sharing the story in the hope "this will touch somebody and they will look for help".

You can listen back to the full interview below:

"She was just an amazing girl," Carmel remembered. "She had a beautiful heart. She was very sensitive. She always tuned into others. Since she passed way, loads of her friends have come up to me and said... she would have sat and talked to them for hours on end. I never knew anything about that at all."

Carmel said Rebecca suffered from depression and anxiety from an early age. "She would have had good times, and she would have had bad times, but I thought the good times were better than the bad times. She kept a lot of stuff to herself."

Rebecca moved to America in 2011, where she had bought a house and was working as a welder. "Maybe she thought by moving away, it would change her life for her," her mother remembered. "She got a job with the railroad, and she was really doing fantastic there.

"A couple of her bosses were due for retirement, and she was kind of earmarked to take over that department. She bought her own house a year ago in New Hampshire - she was doing fantastic."

After Rebecca had an accident while working last year, Carmel spent six months with her daughter in the US. "I suppose she just wasn't in a great place at that time, but she came through it all," Carmel observed. "She was back to herself. She was doing fine."

Carmel last spoke to her daughter on September 3rd. "She gave me no indication that things weren't OK. I rang her back in the afternoon... I left her a message, saying 'I'll call you later, or call me later'. And that was it."

Carmel urged anybody feeling down, lonely or isolated to talk to somebody about how they are feeling. "Sometimes kids keep everything bottled up," she said. "Pass it on, talk to your friend, talk to your teacher, talk to your GP, phone the Samaritans.

"There’s always somebody there that can help you, especially when you're in a dark place. When you feel maybe there's no hope, you don't see any light at the end of the tunnel... pass it on to somebody else who can help you. I know Rebecca wouldn't have wanted her life to have been in vain."
