One thought on “Before and After”

  1. Anne, I do exactly the same thing. I still cant go through any family pictures. I moved to my sisters house cause I couldnt stay at the apartment with so many memories. I admire your courage, and read all your articles and posts. God bless you and your family. Keep up your noble and brave mission of helping those suffering due to suicide/mental illness/addiction. ❣💔
