She survived the October 7 terror attack. A year later, she took her life

Meir Golan sank his face in the dense, dark orange soil. He seemed desperate to stay close to his daughter for as long as possible, holding tight onto Shirel’s shroud as she was being buried.

More than a year after Hamas and other armed groups launched their terror attack against Israel, Shirel Golan became their latest victim. She died by suicide on Sunday, the day she turned 22, after a year-long struggle with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Shirel’s brother Eyal Golan told CNN her health problems began immediately after the October 7 attack. She was attending the Nova Music Festival near the border with Gaza when Hamas led its deadly rampage on southern Israel. Once a happy woman who wouldn’t hesitate to drive for an hour to visit her family when they needed help, Shirel became quiet, slowly fading away after surviving the massacre. “She didn’t come out from the house. She didn’t come to visit us, she was withdrawn,” he said. Speaking to CNN after Shirel’s funeral on Monday, Eyal said the whole family was in shock from her sudden death. The ceremony at the cemetery in Shirel’s hometown of Tel Mond, near Tel Aviv, drew a large crowd. Shirel’s family and friends surrounded the grave, sobbing and wailing loudly, visibly shaken by her death.
