Today I celebrate 23 years of living a life I didnt even know was possible and Im grateful beyond measure for the crossroads that led me to the spiritual path I have wandered from there to here and now. My life today is so full of love and joy, my precious children who are the living, breathing heart of me that wanders the world outside of my body, my best friend & lover, my friends in and out of the rooms of recovery who have shown me everyday what it is to live your truth, practice gratitude as a way of life and live compassionately. Below is the Interview and along with two other women we share our stories about suicide survival, and yes it should be spoken of and talked about in the light of day, hiding suffering does not make it go away, in my experience it actually thrives in isolation. I have not been silent about my experiences of child abuse and suicide for a long time and I will continue to speak up and out wherever the opportunity presents itself because although so many (and i did for so long) feel shame attached to not being able to cope with life. The truth is sometimes the way we experience life is complex, complicated & challenging on every level and it can feel like nobody understands. All the more reason to be kind to one another. Never underestimate the power of a single act of kindness it has the potential to save a life.
