My family is grieving & not sure how to handle this loss




I lost my 24-year-old son on December 7th, to suicide. My family is grieving & not sure how to handle this loss. My son suffered from depression for years. He was diagnosed [with] bipolar & borderline personality disorder.

I have 2 other sons 20 & 16. I’m very worried about them & I’m looking for something to help all of us to be able to cope with this. I think getting away from our everyday lives & being together would allow us time to lean on each other & hopefully help my boys be able to let everything out to myself & my husband.

This situation changed our lives greatly




I lost my parents tragically. A mental health crisis caused the whole situation and my parents succumbed to a murder/ suicide. (I don’t like to use those words but it is the truth) My husband discovered my parents after we weren’t able to reach them. I was there but this situation changed our lives greatly. We do have support but to have a few days to just be together and not have to worry about anything except helping each other would be an immense next step of healing.

The other component is that I want to continue to gain the tools to provide awareness for senior mental health. I want to continue to grieve in a healthy way and also provide a place for my husband to get continued support. We have attended counseling but right now our schedules and finances are not available to do so.

My husband and I are also growing our family thru fostering children. We have fostered 13 kids in and around Franklin County. The last four years. We currently have a 20-month-old foster daughter. This opportunity would be so nice to just be able to not have to worry for a few days and just be a family.

I lost my daughter and my kids lost their little sister




On May 4th of 2022 our sweet Viola Jane was born sleeping at 24 weeks and 3 days. I lost my daughter and my kids lost their little sister. My sister-in-law and best friend lost her niece. My marriage has become a separation (my husband was abusive).

At the end of September, I attempted suicide. I was lucky to have survived. I’ve slowly been getting intense outpatient care and working on building my life back up. I’ve been working hard. It’s a new path for me as a newly single mother and learning to keep my sweet Viola’s memory alive.

My mom needs extra support




We’ve lost a few people recently, my father committed suicide a little over a year ago. This was hard on my mom even with their tough relationship as exes. My father was an addict and it’s really been a tough time accepting things.

My grandmother just recently passed away. Since my sisters and I are all out of the house, I think my mom needs extra support because she was with her mother for the past 3 years as things were getting worse.

I lost my husband to suicide




In June of 2021 I lost my husband to suicide. We had been married for over 14 years and had 4 kids.

Our worlds were turned upside down and we have been trying to navigate a life without him. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, son and friend.
