more repeating
One of the reasons I am such a fan of Kay Jamison and her book, An Unquiet Mind, is because in my opinion there is so much truth and vulnerability in her words.
Our son killed himself and that makes me and my famly "less than perfect" in the eyes of the world. I am not apoligizing for this, I have come to understand and accept how the world views suicide.
And I sometimes fear that sharing it on a public forum somehow demeans it's affect on our lives...somehow minimizes it's importance. My intent is to try to show others how one persons suicide can effect so many others. And to show that it is possible to go on living in spite of losing a loved one to suicide, especially your child.
