Memorial website in the memory of your loved one
Her legacy
Who was Wendy?  
She was truly an "Angel" on "Earth" who flew away to Heaven. Wendy was a 'loving' person who only wanted happiness, not only for herself...but for everyone she loved.  She had a heart filled with compassion, she always put other people before herself, sometimes not realizing that the kindness she gave towards some people would end up causing her sadness and pain.
Wendy gave so much but took so little...those of you who were fortunate to receive what she gave... you know what I MEAN... No Matter what all she wanted was her family to find happiness and all her suicide seem to bring about was more heartache and separation amongst her "family".  to be continued...

The Suicide Survivor's Affirmation  


The Suicide Survivor's Affirmation
by Jeffrey Jackson



Someone I loved very much has ended their own life. I will never truly know
all that was happening in their mind that brought them to that tragic choice.

However, there are things of which I can be reasonably certain...
        -- If they were here, even they could not fully explain their mindset
             or answer all of my questions.
        -- In their state of mind, they could not have fully comprehended the
             reality of their own death.
        -- They could not have fully appreciated the devastating
             impact their suicide would have on the people in their life.

As such, by their last act, they made their most tragic mistake,
unknowingly
creating unparalleled pain in the hearts of those whom they most loved.

The person I lost is beyond my help now in every way but one:



I can help them by working to ease the pain they have caused and by not allowing their most

enduring legacy to be one of tragedy.
 

They benefit from this help whether or not I perceive them as welcoming it, in the same way that we help the aggressor whenever we nurse his victim--by  minimizing the damage he has caused.
As a result, each and every day, I can help
the person I lost by...

         ...enjoying life.
         ...smiling and laughing.
         ...not dwelling in feelings of sadness or remorse.
         ...loving others.
         ...taking new steps in life toward positive new horizons.
         ...helping those who feel their loss to do the same.
         ...and, in short, not letting their mistake continue to create
            sorrow, neither in the world around me, nor in myself.

I will try to picture my lost loved one asking me to do these things every day to help undo the damage they caused in whatever little ways possible

Little did we know...  

Little did we knew that morning
That God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
