Grief is said to be a journey rather than a singular event or emotion. Many mental health professionals have given labels the various stages of grief but since we all grieve differently they can't tell us exactly how or when we will move from one stage to the next or if we ever will in […]
We forget sometimes that depression and mental illness are terminal JUST LIKE CANCER. Cancer is when the body's cells turn on the body and destroy us from the inside. The thing is, they can't see it and test for it. There are no physical tests for depression. Depression and mental illness are much more that […]

Every thought, belief, fact, and memory we have is stored in our brains as NEURON PATHWAYS. They are a pattern that represents every thought weโve ever had. All of our thoughts are electrical impulses that create a path to another. Like Morse Code of the mind. When our brains try to processes a new thought, […]
For years I wondered what I could have done to prevent them from losing their mom. It tortured me. They were 3 & 13, they need their mommy. If I had only seen the signs and did something. I failed her. I should have seen it. I should have known better. No one could have […]
