TW: Suicide

I lost my beautiful 15 year old daughter to suicide. She was a competitive gymnast, flyer on the cheer team, track team, excellent student but was being bullied. I’m not just saying because I’m her mom be she was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. She had a very soft heart and let things bother her that others said. It was such a horrific discovery when I found her after we had an awesome day. I wish I had told her these words more. I of course encouraged her to do anything and everything she wanted. But to know “YOU ARE ENOUGH” maybe it would have made a difference. I’ve struggled I’m an ICU nurse and it’s so hard with people dying alone. if I’m on the unit no one will die alone I will sit and hold them hand and stroke their hair until they take their last breathe. My daughter died 30’ down the hall alone it haunted me. What did I miss? So now I gave sever of the YOU ARE ENOUGH brackets for myself to remind me go has given me the gift of knowledge to help others in a profound way. I wish I could buy more but as a single parent the hospital bills and funeral kind of wiped me out for a while. Once I’m able, I will absolutely buy these for other. Really every time I look at my wrist and read those words I start to believe them again and it gives me hope that my hurt will lessen over time for know it’s still a tinder box and I hope every day there’s no spark. I have an older daughter that I adore and have thrown myself into her and she has been so gracious even when it may not have been good timing for her. I’m so blessed to be a mom to two amazing daughters. Thank you I hope this is what you meant by our story there is so much more but this is abbreviated. Thank you for a product that gives hope when there seems to be none.
