Suicide Survivors Web Page

WELCOME TO ALL SUICIDE SURVIVORS,

MY FAMILY & FRIENDS

We have lost a loved one.

Today - and for the rest of our lives

We are changed

In years and cultures past the wearing

Of black signified, publicized that loss

Your REMEMBRANCE WREATH -

Plays a part in that recognition

A visible, tangible reminder of your

Loved one.

Worn in memory and in hopes

That those who see will know

And understand

That we are different, our world has changed

And we are passing through the grief

As best we can.

DEDICATED TO OUR SONS
JON & ROB
Jon took his own life on May 27, 1991
Rob killed in an auto accident Mar.19,1994
I pray that doing this page will help prevent others
from SUICIDE as it also helps me to heal.

Not in Vain
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain,
or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
(Emily Dickinson)

Inner Peace
Help me God to see the way
the way to a better place
With Guardian angels
and calming spirits
I feel your warmth upon my face.
I reach my hand out to you,
for you are always there,
Loving, caring guiding me
when things don't always seem fair.
You're all around me
to bring me love,
I know comes deep within
All I have to do is open up
and I'll be the one to win.
The joy, the peace, the happiness
that only I can make,
Is all I really need in life
and that no one can take.
(Colleen Garber)

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things
I cannot change
the courage to change
the things I can,
And the wisdom to know
the difference.

THE TIME IS NOW
IF YOU ARE EVER GOING TO LOVE ME,
LOVE ME NOW, WHILE I CAN KNOW
THE SWEET AND TENDER FEELINGS
WHICH FROM TRUE AFFECTION FLOW.
LOVE ME NOW
WHILE I AM STILL LIVING.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL I'M GONE
AND THEN HAVE IT CHISELED IN MARBLE,
SWEET WORDS ON ICE-COLD STONE.
IF YOU HAVE TENDER THOUGHTS OF ME,
PLEASE TELL ME NOW,
IF YOU WAIT UNTIL I AM SLEEPING,
NEVER TO AWAKEN,
THERE WILL BE DEATH BETWEEN US,
AND I WON'T HEAR YOU THEN.
SO, IF YOU LOVE ME, EVEN A LITTLE BIT,
LET ME KNOW IT WHILE I AM LIVING
SO I CAN TREASURE IT.

To everything there is a
season
and a time to every purpose
under heaven
A time to be born
A time to die
A time to plant
and a time to reap
A time to laugh
and a time to weep
A time to embrace
and a time to not
embrace
A time to speak
and a time to be silent
A time to love
and a time to hate
A time of war
and a time of peace

A Picture is worth a thousand words.
From the first day of life to the last, pictures capture your dreams, your smiles and your pain.
These pictures are the lives of two very important and well-loved men, My sons.
Journey with me to explore the life of these two wonderful men. Both of whom died too young.
This is their lives, beginning to end.
