Suicide may look like a blessing to the ones who give in and do it. It brings sorrow to loved ones left behind. Life is tough enough without intentional grief. Thank you for sharing your story and showing life goes on.

Thank you, Lisa, for sharing what is life-affirming even as it is sad. These are both sides of the life we live each side of heaven. As mothers, we put far too much pressure on ourselves for things we cannot control. We need to see the butterflies around us.

I really appreciate this story of a mom’s loss of her child. I am involved with Grief Share at my church and I know the effect grief can have on a person. This story really touched my heart. Thanks for sharing it.

In reply to Geri. Hi Geri ~ thank you for your kind response to Lisa C. I lost my mother for many years to the threat of suicide. It's a heavy emotional shroud that's hard to shake. Lisa's growth through her pain lights a path for others, doesn't it?

Oh Lisa. This has touched my heart so profoundly. I have many memories of Nathan and I fondly remember the playful teasing and I cherish the memories of his presence all around your house, and I remember where his room was. I’m glad and thankful to have and share memories of him. Your thoughts and feelings and reflections are so moving and God honoring. My love to you always.
