DRAGONFLY WHISPERS
A Look at Life After Suicide Loss
This blog has been created by a suicide loss survivor.
Follow me on my journey through grief, loss, guilt and acceptance.
Learn to accept the things you cannot change, be willing to accept those you can and have the strength to know the difference. One day at a time. One breath at a time. One act of kindness at a time. Speak your voice. Speak your truth. Find your dragonfly.
In Loving Memory of my wife,
Courtney Ann Reis Nov 11, 1988- June 10, 2019
