Back to the AFSP, did you all know they have a walk?
http://www.outofthedarkness.org/
They are called "out of the darkness" They have overnight walks in a couple of cities, or smaller community walks. There are 2 walks right here in lil ol New Hampshire coming up this fall. I am trying to decide if I am ready yet to participate. If not this year than perhaps next year. What better way to honor my dad?
Also did you all know they also have a huge sections on Surving Suicide Loss?
http://www.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuseac...84379C813F8D93
In that section they have a section on Survivors of Suicide Day .. this year it will be held on Saturday, Nov. 22. I just registered to watch the program on my computer.
it is a great site |
You keep seaching Nikki...it's part of the healing process. My sister wanted me to walk in last years Madison, Wi. out of darknesswalk but I'm just too old to walk that far. *grin I said I'd sponser her!!
There is a wonderful man who's son took his own life and he writes for the newsletter and is very active in organizing Madisons walk...I'll try to find the article...have collected so much "stuff" about suicide over the years that I have trouble locating it when I need it.
