Who am I?
I am a mother of a daughter who committed suicide. I write as a private citizen about my life in the hope that it may help someone, sometime.
I also hope by documenting my experience pre and post suicide; and engaging with others about it, I will live a better life and contribute to the social changes needed to create a world where suicide does not not look like the only or best option.
I also acknowledge the contribution Gabrielle’s life made to me and many others.
I am working on a book in the future and also maybe doing a podcast.
As the functional capabilities of my blog change I will update this privacy policy to reflect the processes in place to support your privacy.
