“When you see the squares you realise they represent an actual human being. Someone that somebody loves.”
Suicide is not an easy topic to discuss, but a group of people who have lost loved ones hope to open up conversations around the issue through a special memorial quilt which they have made.
Each square of the quilt has been crafted by a bereaved family member or friend and represents the life of the person who has been lost.
The quilt is being unveiled in Edinburgh on Saturday before travelling to various venues around Scotland.
Co-directors of Lothians Speak Their Name, Sue Henderson, Susan Finlay and Jacqui Walton, spoke about the people behind their quilt squares and how they hope the quilt may raise awareness of the issue of suicide.
