This is a heart found in garbage bags. I could see it as my heart feeling like garbage. But I don’t. I see it as a positive sign to find a heart in the most unlikely of places–a roll of garbage bags.
I feel like we are gathering some momentum. On a roll so they say. This one from my new teen friend Alex who has gotten together a crew for me at a local high school to go over the final details of the mental health awareness social media program I am working on for teens and young adults. I will reveal in February. Stay tuned….
Today, my brain is tired. My heart is full.
What is the #griefheart project?
I explain my #griefheart project here.
See all #griefhearts so far on pinterest or on this blog by#griefheart category.
You are great parents

I am an emotionally naked mental health speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind and co-author with Kim O'Brien PhD, LICSW of Emotionally Naked: A Teacher's Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my younger son, Charles to addiction and suicide on June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational mental health keynotes, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, anxiety, coping strategies/resilience, and grief.
As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory.
