One Third of My Light Is Gone

"...And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it,, and the night in like manner." --Rev. 8:12

I have three sons. One of them is in the spirit world. On October 26, 2009, one third of the light in my life went out forever.

LOSS

The LOSS (Loving Outreach to Survivors of Suicide) Program is a support group for those who are grieving a death by suicide of a family member or close friend.

LOSS offers a safe, non-judgmental place where group members are assisted throughout the grieving process. The support and understanding of the trained clinicians coupled with the knowledge and first-hand experience of veteran LOSS members help survivors to realize that they are not alone, that they are not losing their minds, and that they will not feel this deep intense sadness for the rest of their lives.

We have benefited a lot from the 2 meetings we have attended so far.

TAPS

This website was recommended to us by Mr. Seaney, our casualty assistance officer.

TAPS is the 24/7 tragedy assistance resource for ANYONE who has suffered the loss of a military loved one, regardless of the relationship to the deceased or the circumstance of the death.
