Introduction: The decision to write it down

I am a writer. The written word has been a part of my life since I wrote my first story in second grade. And now, for whatever reason, I express myself better through the written word. So this is the expression of my personal journey of grief, anger and pain after the loss of a loved one by suicide. It is a written expression of what so far has been the greatest loss of my life. I lost my beloved grandmother 15 years ago and, while that loss was great, until now, I was blessed enough not to have experienced a loss like this before or since my grandmother. It shook my world unlike anything else and this is my way of working through the pain and confusion felt by those left behind after suicide.
