I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband (a USAF veteran) in June 2023 to suicide by firearm. I can relate to many things you have expressed. You are very brave to share your story and experience. I hope you are able to continue healing and helping others through sharing your experience. I'm still having a difficult time with the grieving process but knowing I'm not alone in this experience has been helpful. Thank you again for sharing! 💜

If anyone is wondering.. the pills she was abusing at the beginning when she couldn't say it without it being bleeped out is ambien.

Nice that she had friends and a community willing to keep her company when she was going through the aftermath. The few times I've tried reaching out to friends or family for help during dark times I've been ignored. It's a really sad world.

[lebluedragon]

There are no words, really! But It is beautiful what you have done with this utter tragedy, by turning it around and offering your presence and life for others, to try and prevent other such tragedies! May you be truly blessed in your life, love and work. And may your wife have found the freedom and peace she sought. 💛

One of my best friends who was dealing with depression on and off all his life, took a trip to Grand Canyon this year in April, came back home and took his life. The pain is real. I’m so sorry for your loss.

No words can sound as full as my heart feels for you. I’m the mom of a son who died by gun violence at the hands of two 16 year olds, (he was 17)
He was as a hurting soul too, and when someone dies who was hurting, we reminisce on their sadness, and our grief for them can debilitate us if we allow it to.
I’ve been on one prescription, adhd meds, for over 20 years, and the biggest epiphany I’ve realized is, despite the good things I could do on them, they left me not needing anyone or anything, what a lie they are. Then trying to live w/o them, I become an unmotivated, self hating statue…yet I’m determined to get off of them for life….
The way you’ve moved forward is motivating, I love your line of tees, and the message on them, a legacy of the love you and your wife knew, and the love for life so many of us so desperately want to feel day in and day out. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. It is a very important one.
