Charles once wrote, “Through all the terror, I can catch beauty in a glimpse of hope.“
When I feel lost and broken, I think of that phrase. How could I possibly have hope after losing my son to suicide?
But something happened because of this tragedy.
My capacity for love grew. Which restored my hope in myself.
Charles was a bright light in the midst of such depression and addiction. Steven remembers his positive energy so well. Thanks for sharing. I have hope things will change thanks to the work of you and others. You are making a difference! xoxo
Thank you Nancy. Charles was the fire that lit the flame of fun. I do miss that.
My personal glimpse of hope is the Lord who lives in heaven. Also, I can also give credit to people like Anne Moss Rogers, who shown me that despite a tragic loss, that spreading awareness and prevention to others will help people who have suffered or who are suffering with mental illness, addiction, and suicide/suicidal ideation.
Thank you Michael. You have worked hard and it has paid off. And now you are helping others. You are amazing.
You’re welcome! I never thought I would have power to have influence on people at all. This year (2017) has been revealing year with many aspects in life including to have positive impact on people with love.
What a wonderful post! And I really appreciate the thought…..it does help to feel a glimmer of hope amist all the anguish and pain….hope is like a thread of sunshine filtering in through all the darkness…..Hope springs eternal! Thank you, Anne Moss, for a beautiful reminder!
Glad I could help, Ann!
This made me realize how ripples of hope and love travel out and reach others. Charles continues to help others through your tireless efforts.
