Last night, co-responders from Olathe/ Overland Park Kansas and my support group SASS-MoKan – Suicide Awareness Survivor Support had our first meeting together. We are teaming together with emergency services to be that bridge for suicide loss survivors and get them the support they need and deserve after a loss has happened. It also felt good to share with the co-responders how the Kansas City Kansas Police Department – KCKPDhandled me the night I found my husband and the days following. They listened and took note what NOT to do for future loss survivors. I am proud to be a part of this team.

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!
