I am very good at hiding my feelings, and my pain, both emotional, and physical. I can feel really really bad, and people won't see it not even my pdoc, or the counselor, and psychologist that I use to see. They don't see a problem. In fact, they usually start to tell me about theirs. So funny, but not really. This is not a strength, I don't think. To them I appear strong, and confident, while inside I am dying. Something I need to resolve.
It's interesting to me Mistiis that you see your face as the face of suicide....I see it as the face of hope. And I'd know you anywhere!

Sad to see the affect on the parents.
I only found this out because I looked up it wanting to know more details about the event. How did I found out? My Sister's Married to his brother Ryan Sherbun. He still regretful over there. Appearantly it was done with a gun too.
I wonder how he got the gun myself...

when our child, whatever the age, for whatever the reason, ends their life..it changes those left behind forever. I've heard the Sherbuns speak to the very student body where their son had been bullied....it was wrenching to sit through but they saved lives that day by sharing their tragedy.

I am new to the these post but not new to the subject matter. I am nick sherbun's brother. Our parents do continue to speak each year since their first speech for yellow ribbon to the freshman class of our high school and surounding schools as well. They strive to connect with as many kids as possible to inform them that there are people that care. They try to carry the message to the students that might be contemplating suicide that their life and decisions effect many more people then just them selves. There is such a hug importance of having people like my parents kevin and Julia Sherbun in the community which incur's the need for more of them; that really includes the ones that changed thier minds or survived an attempt.

I'm so glad you found us. After I heard your parents speak at Penn...a long line of students were waiting to talk to them, to thank them, and tears were streaming down most of their faces...including mine although I am an old lady who's son killed himself 20 years ago. I've also heard that the counselors offices are very busy in the days following their talk.

There is no embrace more conforting than another survivors. Your parents save lives whenever they talk about Nicks death.

How are you doing?

Alffe - you are NOT an old lady

Other than that, I agree with everything you say!

Thank you for sharing with us ry_sky and Mr. Chris.
