Message From Us

This is a message page from us (Judy and Vickey) the owners of Journey Through Suicide Grief. We care!!

From Judy:

My name is Judy but most people call me Jude.

I lost my mom Bev to suicide 5/2/89. It has been

13 years for me and I still miss my mom. Just

know that it does get better but it does not

happen overnight.

I have been doing meetings in my area at a

local suicide support group for 13 years now.

You are not alone. I know the heartache you

bear. I've felt the pain because I have been

there too.

Do the crying... Do the healing... As a griever,

honor your needs. Do what you need to do for

you. Do only what you need to do. "One day

at a time." Sometimes that translates "one

hour at the time."

I am glad you found this website. Let me know

if I can help you in any way.

From Vickey:

My name is Vickey but my friends call me Vix. I lost my brother Allen to suicide 4/6/97. It has been a long and hard journey but I have come a long way in my grief and because I have been where many of you are right now that is why I am trying to help others.

Healing starts to take place when you realize that you can not judge your yesterday with the knowledge of today, that love alone may not be enough to save another's life, that there are limits to your power and responsibility, that you were not the only influence in the life of the one you lost. Be patient with yourself. Remember that time, by itself, does not heal. It is how you use the time that is important. Reach out to others. Once you have the courage to place your hurt, your sensitivity, and your compassion at the service of others, you have discovered the key to help yourself. Just know that I care and I am always here for you. Let me know what I can do to help you and I will try my best to help. Always remember that your loved one lives on in your heart. Life can be good again just different. Please know that you are not alone and you do not have to do it alone. Let us help.

I am so glad you found this group. Take care of you.
