Hi there, I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. I found your site through FB and the "kismet" is right there. In two weeks I am heading up to a monthly writers group here in Los Angeles. We are not officially a NAMI group, but the families members are all from the L.A. or Santa Monica family support group. We will be writing about our experiences and emotions. It will be cathartic and healing and I've just sent a link of your site to everyone, to get inspired. My own writing will be towards writing a book and more advocacy to hopefully come from it. K.

We all suffer but we all have different journeys. Dealing with a child with SMI is horribly tuff. But we all get up everyday! Happy Easter to everyone and to you Dede, my friend. I love your posts. Karen Riches
To read "My Diary" from the beginning, go to "Scenes from the Trenches" June 14, 2017, in the Archives on the right hand side of the blog page. To continue reading, scroll up in the archives from June 14, 2017, and click on each individual diary post. If you have difficulty, message or email me and I'll walk you through it. I didn't know, as I was writing, that I was capturing the last year of my son's life. His voice comes through loud and clear. For me, in these pages, he'll always be alive.
If you're reading and liking "A Mother's Diary," please let me know. I'm building a case for getting it published — one way or the other. Thanks.
Please share my blog/book with "other wayfarers who might catch a resonating echo while wandering in my woods." Thanks.
