In Her Name

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. What are you doing to help make a difference? Raising awareness doesn’t have to be complicated; small actions can create real impact:

Start conversations > Check in with someone and create space for honest, judgment-free dialogue.
Share resources > Post helpful information like the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline so others know where to turn.
Practice kindness > A simple act of compassion can go a long way for someone who may be struggling.

Awareness leads to understanding, and understanding leads to change. Let’s all do our part.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. You can call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, to connect with trained counselors who are available 24/7 to listen and support you.

Tell someone about 988…..you never know whose life it could touch. 988 is the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline in the United States. By calling or texting 988, or chatting online, you can connect with trained counselors who are available 24/7 to listen, support, and guide you through difficult moments. It’s free, confidential, and there’s no judgment, just real people who care. Sharing this number can make a difference. It gives someone a lifeline during times of crisis, a safe space to talk, and access to immediate support when they need it most.

My book, Grieving You, was written to help others navigate their grief. One of the most important things I learned through writing, researching, and creating it is that grief never truly leaves. It becomes a part of who you are. The empty spaces left behind by loss can’t be filled; instead, grief finds a way to settle into those spaces, shaping itself around every part of your being. And in that realization, I discovered something unexpected… in my grief, I see my Kathy. So I’ve learned to welcome it. It’s okay if it brings tears, sadness, or days when all I want to do is stay in bed. Because within those moments, I remember her, the sound of her voice, her little jokes, the quiet elegance of who she was. My hope is that when you read my book, you find those same moments, a way to remember, to feel close, and to hold your loved ones again within its pages.

Mental health is health, just as important as your physical well-being. We don’t hesitate to see a doctor when something is wrong with our body, and the same care should be given to our minds. If you’re struggling, reaching out to a mental health professional is a strong and necessary step toward healing.

You don’t have to go through it alone. Lean on your loved ones for support, share what you’re feeling, and allow others to be there for you. Connection can make a powerful difference during difficult times.

Let’s be better…better humans, better friends, better to one another, simply because it makes the world a little lighter for everyone. Being better doesn’t require perfection. It looks like small, intentional choices: offering kindness instead of judgment, listening instead of assuming, showing up when someone needs support, and leading with empathy in everyday moments. We never truly know what someone else is carrying. A little more patience, a little more compassion, and a little more understanding can go a long way. Be better, not for recognition, but because it matters.

If you need immediate support, you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You deserve support, understanding, and care.
