Every single day I still wake up and wonder what life would be like if Cory were here 💔 the hole in our lives remains a gaping void. The process of grieving his loss, and continual contemplating of what could have possibly prevented the outcome of his death is daily consciousness for me… which I think is just part of my mom heart. Having a child that completed suicide is an absolutely devastating circumstance AND has been a giant catalyst for change. Sept is suicide prevention month(….I think every month should be suicide prevention month) 🌟 i believe with my whole heart that CONNECTION is the best suicide prevention. Connection looks different in every one of our individual relationships…. But do you want to know what I believe is the greatest change we can strive to make DAILY to improve our relationships, and create that essential connection?? Here it is: DON’T FREAK OUT. And MOMS: it starts with us. We can dial down our freak outs. About grades, messes, accidents, mistakes, struggles, fear, frustration, time frames, unknowns…. The best thing you can do for those who need you to show up for them is freak out less. Probably a lot less. *and when you slip up, and freak the heck out… APOLOGIZE IMMEDIATELY and try again. This will not only open opportunities for connecting, it will also improve your own mental health as well. #suicidepreventionmonth #dontfreakout #createconnection #corystory #mentalhealthmatters
