Family tree heart – #griefheart number 138

griefheart
Family tree heart

When my son died by suicide, I did not erase him from my family tree. So I started a new tradition that allows us to grieve the loss of a loved one that died by suicide. To honor their struggles. Without shame. That’s what the #griefheart project is all about. Charles will always have a place in my heart. And how cool is that little heart inside the leaf?

This one found by Maura Varley Twyman and shared with me by Kathi Genett here in Richmond. Kathi made the Pizza party heart found here for Charles death anniversary. I love that so many of you are involved and willing to share your hearts with me.

What is the #griefheart project?

I explain my #griefheart project here.
