It took me 3 years, but I was finally able to part with my late husband’s car. It did and did not feel good to trade it in and I sobbed while sitting in front of the Carmax salesman…oh well. I remember really good and horrific times that were made in his car. It’s hard to choose one feeling. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold onto it forever, plus he tried to kill himself in it 4 months prior to his suicide. Even though his car is gone, I will never forget that night. It’s burned into my memory. Still moving forward…sometimes backwards..but that’s ok…such a journey

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! View all posts by abovetherug
