Today is the one year anniversary of my sister’s death.

She killed herself. And, I say to everyone out there HELP ME get through this day… She was declaring her INDEPENCE from a life with a husband who wasn’t working who was drinking too much. Who left the burden of the finances on her shoulders alone. She was emotionally fragile and desperate to get away from him. She chose a permanent solution that I wish I could have prevented. I miss her so much. And, as all the Fourth FIREWORKS shoot up into the sky tonight I will be thinking of my sister and how her soul escaped its earthly bonds on the tails of the fireworks shooting out into the darkened sky. I will celebrate her life and the memories I have of her as each bright explosion feels the dark sky with light and I hope that the pain will eventually fade from my heart just as the fireworks fade from the sky.

HUGS! We are here for you! May you find the strength to honor her memory by living your life in happiness and full completeness.

There isn’t anything that you could have done or could have said to help her. You did not reach her too late. The myth is that suicide could have been prevented if only we would have reached out sooner, or recognized their silence… the truth is she was hurting, and she chose to do what she did, and most likely she didn’t want to burden you and have you worry.

She loved you and she couldn’t find a voice. She felt beaten down and broken and she would want you to find happiness and through that show her that life is worth every goodness and joy that can be taken.

I’ll be around tonight, I’ll check in here to see how you are doing! HUGS! You are gonna make it!
