How lovely to hear your “voice” Ann. I came upon this website and Jeff’s memorial page and felt so comforted. I still think of Jeff so often and am happy to read that you, Gary, Deb, and Scott are thriving.

All my love,

Andrew

Thank you for sharing your story with me. I certainly can feel the sentiments that surfaced as you wrote this message. I too had so many things I wanted to say to my son, needless to say, I dream he will enter my dreams so I can tell him I still love him. Please take care and Peace be with you.

Comment on Life Will Never Be The Same by Jackie

I am now known as the favorite aunt because of this bitter lesson learned. My son left for reasons that are not clear but I do understand the importance of taking a moment with all the children (& some adults) to hear what they are saying and stay in the moment with them.

The greatest thing we will do in this life is impact those that come in contact with us. So, are you here in the moment & listening or lost and wanting to be heard?

Comment on THE AFTERMATH OF SUICIDE by Bonnie

I had a best friend who was like a sister to me in high school back in 1993. In Oct of that year, she took her life by a gun which belonged to her stepfather, who at the time, was a State Trooper in North Carolina. She was only 18 at the time. We and a few other girls were so close. She was full of life and never said anything about suicide. So when I got the call it was as if the world had stopped. My brother and her had gone to the Senior prom just that May and had a blast. Then on Oct 8th we had a birthday party for one of our girlfriends who was turning 19. We had a great time. Little did we know that a week later she would be gone. Yes she left a note, but we were only allowed to hear some of it. What we heard did not make any sense to us who knew her so for almost 16 years. There is always that question why? I only hope that if she did take her life, and I will never really know for sure, is that she found Peace and Love that she did not maybe feel here. I miss you Angie…

Comment on Stronger Than Death, When Suicide Touches Your Life by MargieRovira

I am reading this book now and I am finding it very helpful. My 25 year old son took his life Nov 2, 2008 and I am still struggling with the guilt about why I didn’t know he was suicidal. This book is helping me to understand the “Why.”
