Just thinking today 10 years ago...I lost Daniel to Suicide.....I remember back to that morning ... which felt like my worse nightmare come true .....That would have to have been one of the worse days of my life..And honestly my first thought was that morning when I found my Son ..How can this happen to me....cause i don't know anyone it's happened to before....And then i started to think but could not think of anyone ....For the first time in my life I ...felt so hopeless and really alone...I've come along way since that day but to me it will always feel like Dan only went yesterday........
I know i will get through all of Dan's anniversarys, with support from my family and friends who are always here for me no matter what...and to Dan's friends that thought so highly of him...and knew what a beautiful person Dan was.....I'm so overwhelmed by the support, prayers,love, understanding, and beautiful heartfelt messages , from both family and friends. I could just not do this without...You...Most of you know who you are....Thank you to my friends who took the time to read Dan's story and to say what they said about my Son....
So proud because i know I did the best i can and loved him with everything I was capable of......I think that today will be quiet for me and my positive (I try to always have one) is that at least my sweet son Dan can rest in peace and is no longer tormented by his illness....it makes me smile to know you are no longer in pain but it also hurts more than anything to have love and lost you....
But at least I got to have and love you for 20 beautiful, funny, best, not sure if i would live to see another day, bad didn't know what to do and wouldn't swap it for the world...The years and memories with you Dan...Some families aren't so lucky. They don't even get the time I did....and again I couldn't imagine and my heart goes out to them.... but I think i was so blessed and lucky to have spent all the years I did with you my sweet son......
Daniel today I will try and just smile everytime I think of you and I know that I will be ok although can't stop being really sad as well 
:-(.....
We are losing too many of our kids and older people as well to suicide and if by what I write helps someone to know they are not alone....That is my only concern....Talk more to your family..Tell them that you love them and..Ask if they're ok and don't take them for granted cause one day the same situation that happened to me might just happen to you or someone else you know..........
Much love and thank you from my heart...Means more than you ever know...xo
As another Birthday goes by I sit here and think how much I miss you my Sweet Handsome Son. Life is just not the same without you anymore and I can't seem to feel the way I did before you passed.....When you left Dan you took the biggest part of my heart and I feel like there is such a big part of me missing.....I remember how much you used to have fun being with us all and Dan you are the only one who is missing now....I try and have a good time but I can't help wish that you were there spending it with us....It makes me so sad.....Forever you will be in my heart specially on your 29th birthday and always....I love you more than i can ever say and I just wish you could be here with us....
We love you Daniel and miss you so
much and I just want to wrap my arms around you and give you the biggest hug. But I know I can't so I will just send all my love, kisses and ((Hugs)) to heaven for you.
Love Glenn and your Mum xoxo
My Beautiful handsome Son Daniel this is one way I can keep your memory alive. Tomorrow 29 years ago you were born and I held you in my arms and you stole my heart and soul. I loved you more than words could ever say. Now 29 years later I sit here and wish so much that you could be here with me and your Dad. We both love you and miss you so much and would give anything to have you here with us still. I know you are no longer in pain and in my heart that is the one thing that makes me think you are in a better place but that doesn't change how much we both miss and love you. You were the kindest sweetest boy and you will always be my whole world. As we go on we will always remember all the times we had together. Memories that last forever. So to you my sweet beautiful Son Daniel Happy 29th birthday in Heaven. Sending you my love and kisses and wishing so very much that you could be still here with us....I love you and miss you more than words could ever say. This is my tribute to you Dan. Party with the angels and one day I will see you again and I will never have to let you go again ever....xoxo
This memorial website was created by me Dan's mum to remember our Son, Loved one, and Friend Daniel Joseph Coorey who was born in Australia on May 8, 1986 and passed away from Suicide on October 19, 2006. You will live forever in our thoughts memories and hearts. We are here for each other as a circle of family and friends and this website is to share our memories and support each other in our sorrow of losing a son, friend, grandson, cousin and nephew...Please take care of each other cause you just don't know if you will get to see each other tomorrow......Suicide took my Son, please always ask family and friends if they are ok....It may be the conversation that could save their lives......
Daniel just wanting you to know that If We could have one Wish is the whole world, it would be to bring you back again....and just have you here like it used to be...Missing you so much.....Love Mum and Glenn xoxo
My Beautiful Precious Handsome son Daniel this is a way for me to keep your memory alive. On the 19th October it would have been 7 years since you were taken from me, your family and this world and not one day goes by that I don't think of you and wish so much that you were still here. Dan I just want to hug you once more and tell you how much I love you but I know I can't do that so I will always keep your memory alive and just say Rest in Peace my Sweet Precious Son. Hope you found the peace that you were so desperately searching for....I will always wish that for you...and just to know that you are happy..
I love and missed you yesterday, Miss you today and tomorrow and will until I see your sweet Handsome face again and get to give you the biggest hug and kiss and knowing that I never have to let you go ever again..Now that brings a smile to my face.....To me Dan You will be Forever young and even though you are not here I know you are helping me to help others cause that was what you wanted to do before you passed away....and I knew how much you would have loved to have helped someone to not go down the same path that you did...You didn't get to finish the book you were writing so now I know it's up to me now to just do whatever I can to keep your memory alive and share your story with anyone that it may help...I will always try and be here for others because i know that's what you
would have wanted and it helps me to get through losing you......Makes me smile to know though losing you I can help others..even though losing you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through....You taught me I am so strong, so strong that I always used to think that If anything happened to you I could never live my life without you and nor would i want to.... and then You proved to me by showing me that your mum is still here today and am doing as ok as I can......With help from some very special people Finally started making it ok to talk about Suicide and for others to know that they are not alone......Wish you could be here to see how so many things have changed....But you probably know already....
..Love you more that I could ever say Love your Mum xoxo
Memories that can never be taken from me and will always be in my heart forever...Seven years today I would say that I lost my whole world when I lost you to suicide Daniel....I remember all the times that I had lost hope and felt so alone and just wanted to do something to help you but I didn't know what to do. As your mum I felt so hopeless and alone but if i hadda know then i woulda done anything....Then it happened, the thing i didn't even think possible...and my worst nightmare.... I lost You my Precious handsome sweet son and only child to Suicide and I know since that morning on the 19th October my life was never to be the same again....I wanna make you proud Dan and I know that everything happens for a reason and I guess If I can help Just one person through losing you then I feel I have done and will keep doing you proud because of your book you were writing but didn't get to finish. Wanting other young people to know that something so simple as sitting round with your friends and smoking marijana
just so that you can have a good time...You didn't realise at the time that your life was about to spiral downwards and take complete control of you......You then said if you had known what it was going to do to you then you would have never tried it in the first place.....And then you described it like a nightmare playing for life......(if anyone would like to read Dan's story or share it with anyone you can find it under (Dan's Writings) on this site...It was too late for Dan but maybe not for others ..This is DANS story, his feelings and just what he was going through on the leadup to taking his life......I only found it after his passing and as much as I thought I knew what he was going through well now i realize I wasn't even close and could never imagine just what Dan was really going through....even though
I saw how depressed you were and the pain that you were going through..I saw all the signs of someone thinking of Suicide but didn't realise they were signs at the time.....Wish somehow i coulda known then what I know now.....What does a mum do when she is worried about her son...doesn't know where to go to get help or to even know what sorta help to look for.....If I spoke to others I guess was worried what people may say and think of Me if I had of told Someone how I was feeling at the time and what was happening when I didn't really understand myself or never thought that Daniel was even thinking Suicide.........And I just didn't know what to do....I'm sorry i didn't cause if i had known what i know now I think maybe you would still be here....I can wish anyway Daniel.....Even though i wasn't able to help you I know i went above and beyond motherly duties, even being your own personal taxi service. With you getting me lost lol when trying to find parties that you were invited to and I know you knew I loved you so much.....And the best you gave to me is that I knew you loved me and your family so much and showed that just by the way you spoke with us and you loved nothing better than spending time with us...and your last letter you wrote to all of us including your friends.....My Sweet, Gentle, Sensitive, kind and beautiful son who would have done anything for your family and friends even if you were to get hurt in the end doing things you may not have otherwise.......Nothing was ever too much for you, even to be a protector for one of my friends who was scared because someone was hanging around her house so you said that you would stay the night and look after her and make sure nothing happens and I always remember your cheeky and beautiful smile and the big hugs and kisses that you always gave me so freely except when your mates were around lol.......and that's why I know you didn't want to die, You just wanted to get rid of the pain that was driving your head insane...And mostly not feel so alone with what you were going through....But Dan I know that this world can be cruel and there are so many out there that judge without even finding out or asking what is happening....or even to ask if you were ok.....I know lots of your friends were affected by your passing....but i do know that they all loved you so much and in lots of different ways....and I think you would have been surprised if you felt that you were able to share with them what you were going through...But I know you were scared and worried about what people would think of you....You felt different but now that time is passing not so different to alot of them who were going through the same things as you were.......And Suicide was the way that you thought would end your pain but not only did it end your pain it ended your life...Forever..Dreams and goals just gone in a single second.....I often whether you thought that doing Suicide was final...No more chances, way too late for you to maybe get a little more help... and mostly too late for all that were left behind after your passing over.....
So Dan on your 7th Anniversary in Heaven I dedicate this to you....My son who I will love and miss for the rest of my life....At least Memories always last forever...and I will always love you.....
I often wonder if you were here today what would you be doing and what you would of looked liked....Would you have a little family....When you died Dan my dreams for you died as well......If only my love could have saved you, you would be still here with me today.....xo
Memories of you, so many of them....You may have left this earth but you will always be in my heart forever and always and as long as I can breath you will always be my World....xo 
Is like no other....Through Good times, bad times and all the times in between, My love still remains the same and always will...I love you with every beat of my heart Daniel...xo........
Daniel One Sweet Day I will be able to see you again. Kind of hard with you not around even though i know you're looking down....
Still can't believe you're gone.....
I feel you with me everyday...Remember the days that we were so close to the edge...Wonder how we made it through...Remember it was always you and me, we are gonna be, Forever You and Me.
You will always live on in my heart Daniel, for as long as I have my breath I will always love you and remember....xx
He is still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh cause His stories live on.
I hold him in my thoughts and I can feel him.
I feel him and this gives me strength and courage.
The tears I have cried for him could flood the earth,
and I know God has wiped each one away.
For my son, I promise this,
I will always hold him in my heart.
I promise I will be missing
him everyday till the end of my time,
but this is not my end and I can't hold my head
underwater....I need to breathe.
I need to love and miss him, but I also need to live
because through me he will live, through me
he will still laugh and love, through me
he will still sing and dance, through me
he will still hug and kiss.
He will forever be in my heart,
he will forever be my son,
I am going to miss his handsome face
I think of him and wonder why?
I might cry or I might smile,
but at the end of the day I am one day closer to my Dan....

SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED
I CAN SHED TEARS THAT DANIEL IS GONE,
OR I CAN SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED,
I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY THAT HE'LL COME BACK,
OR I CAN OPEN MY EYES AND SEE ALL THAT HE HAS LEFT.
MY HEART CAN BE EMPTY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HIM,
OR I CAN BE FULL OF THE LOVE THAT WE SHARED.
I CAN TURN MY BACK ON TOMORROW AND LIVE YESTERDAY,
OR I CAN BE BLESSED FOR TOMORROW BECAUSE OF YESTERDAY.
I CAN REMEMBER DANIEL AND ONLY THAT HE IS GONE,
OR I CAN CHERISH HIS MEMORY AND LET IT LIVE ON.
I CAN CRY AND CLOSE MY HEART, BE EMPTY AND TURN BACK,
OR I CAN DO WHAT DANIEL WOULD WANT:
SMILE~OPEN MY EYES~CONTINUE TO LOVE AND GO ON~
SMILE BECAUSE YOU LIVED, DANIEL~~~
...............ALWAYS LOVING YOU SWEETHEART,
YOUR MUM~
~LOVE RULES~
"Rainbows appear after mighty storms,
when things look their very worst.
Just when the skies are darkest gray,
look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise,
that He will guide us through all our troubles,
no matter what their form.
When you feel battered by life's storms,
and you are filled with doubt and dismay;
just remember God's rainbow is coming,
it's only a prayer away"
MY CHILD
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious Son.....
In tears I saw you sinking
I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence
you fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage.
Your spirit did not bend
and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.
I could not wish you back to suffer that again.
~A MOTHER'S LOVE~
"A Mother's Love is special, It's present every day. A gift came down from Heaven that God has sent our way. Her job is never ending, she's there all day and night, to be there for her children, and be their brightest Light. Her thoughts are with them always, even if they are far apart. Her children have a special place deep down inside her heart. Mother's are a special Gift~ A Gift from up above. This world would be so empty without a Mother's Love."
....................By T. Entzminger
A mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that
she makes.And as their steps will grow
to strides, still a child, in mother's eyes.
Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.
she will pray to God to take care of her child,
to protect and guide them through every mile.
Her child is the very core of her soul,
Weather a baby in arms or an adult
they're love will forever grow.
For to a mother, her child she ALWAYS will stay.
A real mother's love will never fade away~
