Today my sister would have been 64 years old, if she had not taken her life a few years ago.

Oh Sandra, so sorry about your sister. I've spent most of my career as a psychiatric RN. I know the pain suicides cause families. I pray you can get peace in your heart.
ReplyDeleteHi Kuby, Thanks for taking the time to write your very nice note. You're right that suicide causes pain in families. I have experienced much healing in my heart through the years, and I am filled with gratitude. I posted this as a remembrance of her on her birthday and to get the word out (one more small voice...) that help is available and also that suicide is a topic that should be brought out into the open and talked about. In your work, you must see a lot of suffering. What a blessing I'm sure you have been, not just to your patients, but also to their families. Thanks again for your note.
