If weather permits, I’ll be traveling tomorrow to Wisconsin to read my book to kids and gently talk about finding hope after my husband’s suicide. The school recently had 4 young suicides and I felt very humbled when they reached out to me. I just want to do right by the kids because I think of my own students in my classroom. SASS-MoKan – Suicide Awareness Survivor Support did me right and now its my turn to do right for others.

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!
