Shannon died by a self inflicted gunshot wound to her head.
"We love you more, Mom"
When we are depressed, we tend to see things through the
very narrow perspective of the present moment.
A week or a month later, things may look completely different .
Most people who once thought about killing themselves
are now glad to be alive. They say they didn't
want to end their lives – they just wanted to stop the pain.
Many people at some time in their lives think
about completing suicide. Most decide to live
because they eventually come to realize that the crisis is
temporary and death is permanent.
On other hand, people having a crisis sometimes
perceive their dilemma as inescapable and feel
an utter loss of control. These are some of
the feelings and thoughts they experience:
Can't stop the pain
Can't think clearly
Can't make decisions
Can't see any way out
Can't sleep, eat or work
Can't get out of depression
Can't make the sadness go away
Can't see a future without pain
Can't see themselves as worthwhile
Can't get someone's attention
Can't seem to get control
If someone you know exhibits these symptoms,
offer help:
Contact:
A community mental health agency
A private therapist or counselor
A school counselor or psychologist
A family doctor
A suicide prevention or crisis center
Please try to remember this:
This is depression talking. It stops you from seeing
things as they really are.
It steals your history, your present and your future,
and plays them back to you painted black.
Depression stops you being yourself. It stops you
seeing, remembering and thinking clearly.
It is depression that makes you feel this way.
Don't let depression cheat you and others
out of the rest of your life.

R.P.I.T.A.S. was her pet name that her brother called her.
Now, My Sweet Moma rests right behind Shannon's grave. Moma died Feb. 24th, 2008. (3 months after Shannon) Now I have no "close" women by my side, I am alone with my pain.
Warning!!
The last 2 pictures are of my beautiful daughter
in her casket. She was so swollen from
the gunshot, that it really doesn't look like her
much. But we were thankful that they did such a
good job that we could open up the casket
and see her one last time......
Oh Dear God, I miss my baby......
Remember:
Suicide is a PERMANENT solution to a TEMPORARY problem!
BROKEN CHAIN:
We didn't know that afternoon,
That God Was calling your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It breaks our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For parts of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us with precious memories,
And your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
We feel you by our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing feels the same.
But as God calls us, one by one,
The CHAIN will link again.....
If you would like to contact an awesome Psychic/Medium, go to this website and tell Steve that "Rhonda sent you". He has helped me so much since Shannon died! He is just amazing!
