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 TEDx 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 substance use disorder 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, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, 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.
