I lost my 25 year old son to suicide. When it happened, I thought I would never survive losing him, and the pain and grief that followed. But I did survive and as time goes on, have slowly learned to embrace life again, find joy, and meaning. This journey has been long and hard, but I believe my son has been my companion and is at my side. I live now for both of us, and pray I have not let him down.

Dear Erik - written 2-24-10
Dear Erik,
I'm not doing very well here, and am afraid I will never stop feeling sad or be happy again. I tell everyone that I think you didn't know how sad you were going to make me, but deep down I know it woudn't have mattered. I know that even if someone had shown you how upset we were going to be, you would have left us anyway. I know you couldn't stand feeling bad anymore, I watched your pain for so long, and I am so sorry that you had to suffer so much. I'm so sorry
