The Anniversary of Why We Do This

Today marks a day unlike any other, a day that has taught me to cherish life and find solace in the beauty of every breath. Tyler, my shining light, left this world 23 years ago, but his memory lives on in the lessons I’ve learned and the lives I’ve touched.

I’ve transformed my grief into a beacon of hope, educating others on the signs of suicide and the power of support. Do I still feel the pain? Every day, but I’ve learned to embrace it and use it to fuel my purpose.

When called upon, I stand ready to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, and a heart that understands. I’ve found a way to celebrate Tyler’s life, his smile, and his love, and in doing so, I’ve discovered a newfound sense of meaning and strength.

Today is and always will be a reminder of how important it is for me to share this journey .

If you’re worried please find help and support together we can lessen the loss, change the stigma and save lives.

No One Stands Alone was formed in Tyler’s memory. We print and distribute free booklets filled with resources to help everyone at every age.

Our non profit is alway in need of support and volunteers. Find ways to help under How You Can Help on the top menu. If you want more information, you can email info@noonestandsalone.ca or call 519-504-NOSA (6672).

RIP my son, I’ve got this 🧡
