I’m proud of University of St. Mary for having me speak about suicide prevention and mental health awareness today. There are schools that feel if you talk about suicide that you will put it in the student’s heads. This is not true and I wish that maybe had my late husband had a school that discussed suicide and mental health awareness there might have been a different outcome in his life. Thank you for all who were able to come out today and were apart of the conversation.

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!
