Caryn, Thanks! If you can send me some thoughts I can share with the Dept. Heads when I meet with them, I would be soooo appreciative.

Carin, if you can send me any info about Cody and what you have gone through, as well, it would really help give credence to my purpose for this presentation.

Angel and Anna, If you're still willing to share your stories, it would help tremendously. That way I will have a well rounded presentation with various testimonials. Any comments from your perspective as a survivor of a loved one who has taken their life will be very valuable. Thank You! Margopowell@yahoo.com

This comment is late in coming but I want to wish all mother's a BELATED HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY? May you be blessed with peace and strength. GOD LOVES YOU!

To anyone who is willing to let me use your story of the loss of your loved one for my school program please email me. I have my first meeting with the Department Heads of a large High School here in Honolulu. They have lost a couple of their students to suidide. I really appreciate any personal stories you are willing to share, along with the pictures of your loved ones. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide! Margopowell@yahoo.com

Good Morning Everyone.  Wishing each of you comfort, peace, love, and strength.  Believe in God and depend on him for all your needs.  We will all get through our grief somehow knowing He is with us.  Always remember your lost one, talk to him/her/them often.  They will remain with you until eternity and then we shall join them.  What an Alleleluia Day that will be!

Carin, Thanks for the lead of AFSP.org. Their website is very helpful. I'm searching any and all programs for the best insights I can glean from them. I am open to any and all suggestions. I believe the personal stories will have the greatest impact. I'm committed to do whatever I can to try to make a difference. Blessings to you and your! Margo

Thank you Caryn, my exact sentiments!!! The program is designed to help these kids find purpose, see their potential and help them make healthy conscious choices. I feel led by God to do this. It's been an amazing journey and hopefully will be very inspirational! It can't be religious in nature but scientific evidence proves we are amazing creations!
I want these kids to recognize their great self worth!
I'll look forward to receiving any information at any time, even if it's in small snippets. I don't want to put any pressure on you. You are dealing with so much.
I hope this helps in your healing. God Bless, Margo

Margo,

It brings me comfort to possibly help someone else never have to go through this. I will be emailing you in a few days with my story and with photos.

Caryn, separate from the information I just sent, I want to express my heartfelt sorrow for your loss.
Your loss is so recent. The first months are sooooo difficult! The roller coaster of emotions in the beginning are unrelenting. I hope you are finding peace! Your story and experience will be very helpful. Thank you again! If I can do anything to help you please let me know.
