You Can't Have Me, I'm Not Done Yet, I'm Too Strong!

Here is Jaime’s testimonial on suicide ideation. She has been an amazing support and crutch my whole life. She is so caring and giving. Always putting others first and serving family and friends. The world would be a darker place without her. She commented on the blog posts last week, this is what she said;

It resonated with me so much. Because I deal with suicidal ideation quite a lot in my life. It started around the time that I got my pacemaker and it has been a lot in the last couple of years. This year has been the worst. I don’t want to die and I don’t want to kill myself but I often think how much better off everybody around me would be if I was gone. And I also just sometimes feel like I can’t deal with physical and mental pain I feel like I’m constantly in. It’s really weird because I stay not wanting to die because of my family and especially my kids and Bryn. I mentally know the pain that it would cause everybody but at the same time I’ve got that voice in my head that tells me everybody would be better off. So, I really appreciate that post. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you it will get better even though you’re convinced it won’t. I think it was a wonderful post and you articulated the things that needed to be said very well. I love you and you’re really helping people out there. But more than that you’re helping me. and as selfish as that sounds, I’m very grateful for it. I love you so much keep it up you’re doing a wonderful job. I love you

Jaime has had so many challenges in her life. She suffers with many physical illnesses and keeps going. She has touched so many lives in service and just uplifting all she comes in contact with. She is the ray of sunshine that you need in your day. I admire her for her strength and good attitude despite her circumstances. She has so much to live for!
