I'll be at Valley View Sept 10th

I sit here sipping my coffee this morning. My husband's out of town relatives have left on the Greyhound bus yesterday to Kamloops. Soon there will be no bus service via Greyhound in British Columbia, so I have no idea what they will do when they have another specialist appointment on the Lower Mainland. One of the girls was highly medicated due to a psychosis episode in her life. It is not the girl I remember from 10 years ago. This girl truly did not get it from using drugs, so it must be somehow genetic.
I was hoping to do some traveling before the fall routines begin, but with the high gas prices, and my husbands medical condition;I don't think that will be a reality. The weather has turned cooler, the garden awaits me. More decisions ahead regarding courses. Should I sign up for 'Grief Share', a 13 week program in our community? Am I ready for this support group, and bare my heart about Deborah once again? We just got over the anniversary of her death once more. Four long years! September the 10th as you probably know is World Suicide Prevention Day! There will be an event at the place Deborah is buried, at Valley View funeral Home in Surrey. I will be there. I want to hear the speakers, and fellowship with others who have lost loved ones to suicide. It falls on a Monday this year. Please check on a neighbour, a loved one, a friend in order to talk about their mental health. Take the time to visit with them, take them out for tea/coffee. Also be gentle to yourself; do self-care whatever shape or form that takes place in your mind and life.
