Welcome to the blog
Welcome to the “We Got This Blog.” I am so blessed that you are here with me as a part of this beautiful community. Together, we will grieve and we will grow and we will take those we lost with us. I truly believe I am alive today because of the love and generosity that this space has so kindly given to me. As Misty Copeland once said, “Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.”

Dear Dad, I Need You
Disclaimer: This isn’t a perfect post. And to be 100% honest, I only spent about 25 minutes on it (oh, and cried while putting together the first half and picking out the photo); plus, the only changes I made were grammatical ones. So, these are my feelings in real time, and as raw as they…
Just Take A Breath and Breathe
I guess I just want to know why. Why did he have to be taken from me? Why couldn’t the universe have spared that broken little boy any more pain? These are the questions that always seem to replay in my mind, almost like a malfunctioning clock. Constantly haunting me and hurting me, desperate to one day bring my body back down…

Why Did I Start a Blog?
There is such a deep pain that comes from losing someone whose mind had been poisoned by their own thoughts. I never want other people to suffer the way my father did or to hurt like my family has. I started my blog to be a safe space for those who are struggling with any type of loss, as well those who are dealing with their own mental health issues. The world is a scary and unpredictable place, but there’s a beauty that each and everyone of you brings that shines ever so bright. Even on those days that take a little extra out of us, remember that We Got This. All we need to do is take a breath and will ourselves forward.
