Hi! Thanks for stopping by.

Blog 1: Your Stories: Our stories of serious mental illness — and how it impacts individuals, our loved ones and our families — will help bring this topic into the mainstream discourse.

Blog 2. My Diary: I began keeping my diary as I was approaching my 70th birthday. I wasn’t a happy camper. I felt like I was being dragged into the walled city of old age. And I wasn’t coming out. I decided to lean into the experience. I wanted to reflect on the extra-ordinary in the ordinary. In the wonder of each day. I wanted to leave a time capsule for my grandchildren. That was it. A gift for myself and my grandchildren. But after Pat died, my diary morphed into something some complex. It included a legacy for Pat and a stealth indictment of our mental illness system. My blog is now my book.

I hope, with these two blogs, we'll see increased understanding and movement toward better mental illness care. Sooner than tomorrow...

Hope you're having a good day.

Dede
