Next week will be a very significant marker of six months since my husband took his life. I have been meeting with a grief therapist for a few months, which has been so helpful on my journey. Recently I went to a widowed persons meeting and had such an uncomfortable experience as the people shared their stories of nursing loved ones who had terminal illnesses. I didn't share my story because I felt so ashamed that my husband didn't fight for his life the way others had; where do I belong I wondered...Since then I learned of an organization that sponsors an awareness event called Out Of The Darkness Walk, which is a fundraising opportunity to provide suicide prevention. I decided to participate in the walk in my city next Saturday, Oct 3, in memory of my husband and also in hopes of increasing awareness so that people who feel so helpless and hopeless will know that there is help for them. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, this will be an emotional experience for me and all my fellow walkers who have lost their loved ones the same way. Thank you, Mary
