Thank you U.S.Army at Fort Leavenworth for having me speak to your soldiers and staff about #suicideprevention. I was honored to read your article this morning in the Fort Leavenworth Lamp about the speaking engagement and read your thoughtful words too, Brian Paxton. Speaking gives me purpose, a chance to say my late husband’s name, and I know it’s the right thing to do. I won’t allow my husband’s story or suicide to be swept under the rug. Also, thank you for inviting me back this September to speak…I look forward to it. #PostventionisPrevention #Abovetherug

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!
