At 6:30pm tonight I’ll be doing an author signing for my book, “Goodnight Mr. Vincent Van Gogh,” to support R.Y.A.N. (Remember You’re Always Needed). Linda’s son Ryan ended his life at the age of 18 and she is passionately working on suicide prevention by holding a soccer game at Scheels soccer complex. All donations are going to www.everydaymatters.com. You will see me with the SASS-MoKan – Suicide Awareness Survivor Support table. Hope to see you there! #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! View all posts by abovetherug
