The inspiration behind writing this book is to honor her son’s life and also to share her experience as she truly believes that sharing is caring and helps healing.

She developed psychological techniques to help overcome life’s many challenges.

These were and are invaluable to her. Even before Patricia lost her son it was clear that mental health issues (and suicide) were and are on the increase, so she was determined to go public about her son’s suicide to raise awareness and send a message to millions that there is comfort and hope after such a loss. She knows loss raises complex emotions such as grief, guilt, confusion, and even anger. It can be overwhelming and every day, every moment, even second can be difficult. You search for answers. You have a need to understand why, you go over and over signs or conversations – did you miss something? This can increase the weight of emptiness. However, she needed to acknowledge that it’s ok to feel all emotions whether it is deep sadness, guilt, anger. She found writing the book was therapeutic as did the others whom she asked to share their story of loss of a loved one.
