Today was dress like a story book character day at my niece’s school in Texas. She chose to dress like Opal Louise from my book “Goodnight Mr. Vincent Van Gogh.” Mercedes then got to share her book with her class. For those who don’t know, the childre’s book is about suicide loss and the little girl’s illustration in the book is based on my niece. My heart swelled big today 
❤️ I don’t even know what to think..it’s kind of been an emotional day

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!
