a great idea and a good friend.

I had to write about my friend, Jocie. She just started a blog and not just any blog. She started a blog in order to reach out to people who are dealing with the same loss she is dealing with and also to be an advocate for suicide prevention. She lost her little brother to suicide two years ago. I've known Jocie since grade school and her strength is undeniable. Whenever I am feeling sorry for myself over the loss of Shannon, I think about Jocie. She is a survivor and has survived more heartbreak than I and I am so proud of her for using her loss to help others. Please take a minute to read her story and share. Here is the link.

Jocie and I.
