Learning to Breathing Again: Choosing to Heal After Losing a Loved One to Suicide

On March 21, 2019, Lark Dean Galley experienced a devastating loss-the unexpected suicide of her 19-year-old son. Having already endured her own father's suicide five years earlier, this second death hit especially hard. All expectations for the future were erased. Everything became difficult. Even breathing felt like a conscious decision. This is the story of her raw and painful journey through despair and grief; it is standing on the brink of an abyss ready to pitch into the darkness and making the very difficult decision to step away from the edge. Lark shares how this decision to use her loss to bless the lives of others helped her to heal from both her son's and father's suicides.

She has done this in a variety of capacities, but in each she has used the tools and lessons learned from her own struggles.…
