New York State is one of the few states not to have anti bullying laws. Yesterday I added my name to a petition for the introduction of such laws. Bullying, these day, has also come into the realm of the internet and, for those of you like me you were not aware of it; it [...]

My post: Signs From Spirit a couple of days ago, has generated a bit of a debate. Most of us who have lost a loved one, find that we cannot have enough on the subject. Responding to a comment, I suggested that it would be nice to have a “signsbulary,” the equivalent of a vocabulary [...]

Somebody just reminded me that today is Palm Sunday. Of course it must be, next Sunday is Easter. In the past, by this time we would have probably bought the Easter eggs that, come Easter Sunday, would be hidden for the children’s annual Egg Hunt. I’d have the menu planned and friends invited to our [...]

I don’t know about you, but I believe that our loved ones who are in Spirit, do communicate with us. They do try to let us know that they are still around. The day after Andrew’s Memorial Concert at the Bitter End by Ippazzi, we were in the kitchen with my cousin who had come [...]

I remember when, a few years ago, his sister was on the athletic track, Robert climbed the big rock next to the bleachers while I kept an eye on him, one on his sister and one on the time for when I’d have to go and collect Andrew from tennis. Now it was, Robert on [...]

The reprieve was nice while it lasted, but it couldn’t go on forever. The sun is out again and that’s how it should be, I suppose. Driving back from taking Robert to school, I realized that the last time I had driven him in, had been in October, B.A.D: Before Andrew Died. I was in [...]

I commend David Skorton, Cornell’s University President, who, instead of trying to sweep the subject under the rug, has taken the step of writing publicly about the suicides that have taken place at Cornell, and for calling for a National dialogue about suicide. Many of us have been calling for the same, so far nobody [...]

What can I say, I don’t think I am weird, but while everyone was happy that spring had sprung this past week-end; I felt… it’s odd, but… spring seemed to be out of place to me. I didn’t realize that that’s what it was until yesterday, when the sun wasn’t shining and it rained all [...]

Below is an email from John Madigan, Senior Director of Public Policy for The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I am proud and grateful that the team with whom I went to The Hill two weeks ago, helped make a difference in last night’s passing of the Health Care Reform Bill. Esmeralda Hello Team AFSP/SPAN [...]

Maybe because of the intensity of the activities in Washington, recuperating from it, and writing about it all, I have been sufficiently engaged on something meaningful to me, that I didn’t go wondering, visiting the sadness of Andrew’s death, long enough to become drenched in sorrow. Then yesterday, without warning the flood gates opened and [...]
