Suicide Prevention is Everyday

As we come together to share our stories of loved ones we lost to suicide, we do so in the hopes of helping others through their darkest moments. The first part of this video is of Kathy’s dad walking in the Pyrenees to honor Kathy’s 27th birthday in 2024 and the second part is one of his life’s greatest moments in 2019 … their father-daughter dance. 💔

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, please remember you are not alone. Pain is not permanent. If you are feeling lost, reach out to someone you trust. Talk to a friend, family member, or a professional. Suicide is NOT the answer; you are valued, you are loved, and you are needed.

Check Out Our Interview With CanvasRebel Magazine

We had the pleasure of being interviewed by CanvasRebel Magazine. If you would like to learn about the background of In Her Name, our WHY, and a bit about the founder, click HERE. This is our first interview for In Her Name, so please share your comments and/or feedback. Thanks, and as always... BE KIND!

Here are some snippets from the interview:

“I could have prevented it if I had known that some of Kathy’s behaviors were symptomatic and indicative of severe depression. After this revelation, I made a personal commitment to raise awareness and help others suffering from mental health issues.”

“Together, we can work towards a future where mental health is openly discussed and supported, bringing comfort and assistance to those who need it the most.”

“During a long and fulfilling career in higher education, I found myself at a crossroads. In April 2022, I faced a heartbreaking tragedy when I lost my stepdaughter to suicide. This devastating event forced me to reevaluate my life’s direction.”

“After 40-plus hours of traveling, the plane landed in the US, and without words, my red puffy eyes and runny nose told a story of despair and loss.”
