A tribute to my mom. 10 years after suicide.

Sweet friends,

I’ve created this video today as a tribute to a beautiful Earth Angel, my mother. Yesterday/today mark the 10th year anniversary that my family lost her to suicide.

There’s a weird stigma I’m feeling as I sit here typing these words. The whole experience is undoubtedly part of who I am and has forever altered and shaped me.

Anyone who I’ve ever met, all the lives I’ve had the honor of touching throughout mine, they know my mother through me; for she is inseparable from the woman I’ve become.

I’m still navigating the fact that, the majority of people I meet more often than not have somehow been affected by suicide.

Whether it is someone they knew on an intimate level, an acquaintance, or through someone they love.

In this video I share my experience of her journey and what I’ve learned since the day we found out.

I honestly had a hard time being transparent about some aspects because we are all inevitably going to have different interpretations of areas that house so much of the element of what is unknown.

I realize that I didn’t share enough about the beautiful memories I have of her. About her grace, her deeply nurturing qualities, her quick-wit humor, and her boundless capacity to love, even those who I felt were underserving of it.

Maybe that’s for a different video. I’m just honoring what wanted to come through today✨

Please share with someone who could benefit.

Light Travels my friends,

Marissa
