I am flashing on how many places and events and people and things I connect with Casey. High School, for one, Jack in the Box tacos, chugging beers, Woody Allen movies, analyzing all those failed romances, you and I conniving to catch Danny in the act, Phoenix, SF Bay Area, Atlanta, Sedona, Santa Cruz boardwalk beach, Laguna Seca, TGIFridays, reruns of Sex in the City, Friends, and Mad About You, shopping at Metro, all the love and support you gave in so many ways and on and on, so many memories. Kulu Se Mama! Your spirit lives on.
A couple more conferences:
On the weekend of April 15, the Parents of Suicides and Friends & Families of Suicides internet communities will sponsor their 5th annual retreat in Pavo, Georgia. The retreat is open to all survivors (membership in POS/FFOS is not a requirement). For details and registration information:
The Compassionate Friends USA will be holding their 28th national conference July 1-3 in Boston, Massachusetts (this is separate from the International Compassionate Friends gathering in Vancouver in August which was the subject of our previous message). Compassionate Friends is for all bereaved parents, and although not specific to suicide, the conference will include nearly 100 workshops, some of which will address the loss of a child to suicide. There will also be activities for siblings, grandparents, friends and others who are interested, as well as a pre-conference Professionals Day to help educate professionals who interact with bereaved families following the death of a child. For more information and to register:
