It is encouraging to know that there are so many passionate people who are wanting to help raise awareness here in Kansas City on #suicideprevention. Thank you KCUR 89.3 and CJ Janovy for staying #abovetherug and writing an article on the importance of #mentalhealthawareness and covering my exhibit #FacesAfterSuicide. It was hard not to share this article last week when it was released, but I wanted to save it for suicide prevention week. Click on the link below to check out the article.

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!
