I can’t believe my children’s book is finally published! I already have 2 book signings and 2 televised events scheduled for this month. For each book that is purchased the proceeds will go back to suicide loss support, prevention, and awareness. My book launch is Sunday, September 10th, at the Remembrance Walk for SASS (Suicide Awareness Survivor Support). Fox 4’s Matt Stewart will be introducing my book and I will be holding a book signing after the event. Then on September 17th, I will be holding another book signing at the Speak Up Walk. Today is a good day because young children will now have a book that lets them know that losing a loved one to suicide is not their fault and they are not alone. If you would like, please watch my video to find out more…
After my husband ended his life I was completely devastated and felt as if I was torn into pieces that could never be put back together. How could life go on? The emotional pain he ended was unknowingly passed onto me. I knew I needed help quickly. I joined a support group called SASS (Suicide Awareness Survivor Support) who supports the ones left behind after a loved one's suicide and also helps raise mental health awareness. I will never get over my husband's death, but I now know that I can get through it, thanks to SASS. I sweep nothing under the rug. By starting an open and honest conversation I hope to help break down the stigmas and start raising mental health awareness. Together we can stay above the rug!
