Imagination
Clouds in the blue sky,
I don’t only see the clouds…
Imagination.

Happiness
In the grass I lay,
Flowers and birds come to stay.
Sunny, sunny day.

I’ve decided to re-write Julian’s Voice for Jewels.

Julian’s Voice:

Ms Mandi Photo 1

Hysterically, Jewels cried when she found out the news. They said they had found over twenty different pills in her system.

The County had chalked it up as, she had simply forgotten how many pills she had really taken. In addition, they had found alcohol in her system.

This too surprised Kate.

Mona was dead.

LOST

02-11-2017

Somewhere between the age of eleven and fourteen we lost her.

Please note that I don’t write and post these images and words for my own recognition or salvation…I do this so other teens and parents, who may see our site, find a sense of knowledge and or comfort, knowing that they are not alone in this.

We want to get the word out that teen depression and suicide is real and we are determined to reach out to as many readers as we can…if we can help save just one life from suicide, then our job was worth it and Jewels’ death wasn’t for nothing.

Are you Serious?

jewels-14th-birthday-2016-006

One of my wonderful bloggers sent me a great article on Teen Depression and this is a quote from the authors at Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania:

“Take seriously any comments or hints regarding suicide”

Teens don’t always want to talk to us…especially their parents, so we when they do speak out, it is very important for us to listen to them…I mean really listen!

SIBLINGS

SIBLINGS…

SISTERS 07.2015

When a child dies, especially to suicide and so young, everyone seems to focus on the parents, and their pain and sorrow, and especially the mother’s anguish.

However, sometimes there are siblings who are forgotten. They too have a special kind of loss.

She has lost their best friend.

Who will she share their future memories?

Who will she call late at night when she just needs someone there to listen to her and to laugh with her?

Who will be her Maid of Honor at her wedding?

Who will she call with the great news that she will be an aunt?

Who will she roll her eyes at during Thanksgiving dinner when annoying family members show up at the door?

Who will she talk to about “Remember when’s…”?

Who will she share her memories? And who will she create new memories?

This is especially hard when she is now the only child.

When a sibling dies, all future special occasions will be forever changed.

We, as parents and support groups, must remember their grieving process because when a sibling dies, they lose a part of their past, present and future.

Here is a support group, chat site, for siblings grieving a loss of a sibling:

Support Group: The Compassionate Friends
The Compassionate Friends Sounds of the Siblings (for bereaved siblings)
