On November 3rd. 2009, my then 20 year-old son, Andrew Williamson-Noble, an East Asian Studies junior at NYU’s College of Arts & Science, jumped to his death from the 10th floor of NYU’s Bobst library. Since that day, I have received messages and emails from students, mainly from NYU, offering support whilst revealing their own [...]

I saw a therapist yesterday. She was highly recommended and those who recommended her were right, I liked her. Quite frankly I’ve never seen the point of a therapist. Even now I am not entirely sure how it works, although… you know… there’s something to be said about being able to… talk. Why are you [...]

“Come and read this,” my husband called out to me from his desk on Saturday morning. “What is it?” “Come and see,” he insisted. I walked over to him and he pointed to the computer screen, Mark Madoff, the headline read, had died of suicide that morning. I felt sick, sick, sick. I don’t want [...]

I am so fucking angry today. Even with a sleeping pill I didn’t sleep last night. I mean, I went to sleep alright to start with, but then Hugh’s coughing woke me up around 1 O’clock, and sleeping pill notwithstanding, that was the end of what I had hoped might be a peaceful night’s sleep. [...]

As you know, on Sunday I went to the Living Proof concert organized by Neil Totton, in memory of suicide victims. It was truly, an amazing evening. Just being there was a healing experience for me, and the talent was pretty much as good as it gets. The air was filled with the powerful openness [...]

I went to the vigil in Washington Square Park last night, with my friend Sam. It started to rain as soon as we got to the park, a few light drops at first, then a deluge. Undeterred, the young and not so young, kept filing into the park. Oblivious to the rain, Sam and I [...]

I have been tossing and turning all night because I am still sick and because today is the day of the Fair! I hardly believe it. Last night I met in person for the first time the group of people who have rallied to my call and have helped me put this thing together. Self [...]
