On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Crisis of Faith

This is actually old, like from 11/4/17! I forgot to click the Publish button! HAHA! Last night, I was really missing Erik, but as is rarely the case, I felt angry at him. I asked myself, ‘Why hasn’t he played any of the cool pranks or visited me like he did before, dropping Airsoft BBs...

Erik Pays a Visit!

We’re planning on spending Memorial Day at the house, hosting a swim party for Arleen’s 11th birthday! Little does my husband know that I bought a Slip N’ Slide for the party as well as a huge inflatable floating mat. He’s going to be pissed! He hates those things because they’re hard to store and...

A Dramatic Healing of a Woman Who Was Never Loved by a Mother

Sometimes I can relate to this wonderfully loving woman, Suzy, because my mother had her Mommy Dearest side.
