Yesterday we lost our great Uncle George. The first and only time I ever met my uncle was at my wedding in 2008. After my late husband ended his life my uncle and I wrote back and forth several times and he sent me the book, “The Book of Awakening.” This book is small doses of simple truths and the first quote I highlighted was “Whatever our path, whatever the color or grain of our days, whatever riddles we must solve to stay alive, the secret of life somehow always has to do with the awakening and freeing of what has been asleep.” Love you Uncle George..I’m glad you flew in from California to KC for our wedding and thank you for thinking of me, to write me and send me that book in my darkest time..

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!
