5 Advocacy and Action One Suicide Loss Survivors Story and Journey to Healing
6 Erin s Story of Suicide Loss Luke McNeil May 19, 1984 May 15, 2007
7 Out of the Darkness Walk Chair of the 2012 Eagle Valley Out of the Darkness Walk for AFSP. Raised over $20,000 for suicide prevention and research. Shared the journey with more than 100 other suicide loss survivors.
8 Joining SpeakUpReachOut-2012 Became involved as a volunteer for the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Eagle County. Found out about the organization in the newspaper. Made a conscious effort to educate myself about suicide.
9 SpeakUpReachOutCommunity Walk Chaired the 2013 Community walk and Heartbeat Memorial Balloon Launch. Rain or Shine people still showed up for the event. I remember reminding our participants that walking 3 miles in the rain likely did not compare to the pain that our loved ones felt when they died by suicide. 2013
10 Getting Trained and Training the Public Became a QPR Trainer. Learned the Signs of Suicide Act, Care and Tell training. Took Applied Suicide Intervention Skill Training.
11 Public Policy Advocate for AFSP Work to promote legislation by contacting your State Congressmen and Women. Learn about the legislation and public policy around suicide prevention. Advocacy Forum Feb Visit Washington DC Promote public policy Hear keynote speakers on a variety of topics around suicide prevention.
12 SpeakUpReachOutCommunity Walk 2014 Gave a young lady who lost her dad to suicide an opportunity to share her story. The sharing and support that happens at these walks is so inspirational.
13 SpeakUpReachOut Recognized for Service Tri Club Rotary Public Safety Awards. That moment when you know what you are doing in the community IS making a difference.
14 2015 SpeakUp ReachOut Our programs take off. Organizations come to us instead of us going to them. Our Vice President loses her brother to suicide on Christmas Day, 2014 we hold the walk in memory of him in I re-live the death of Luke and realize maybe I never actually dealt with his death.
15 Getting Involved Suicide Prevention and Loss Survivor Support Efforts

17 One Survivors Journey No one s journey is the same. We can empathize with each other, but to truly understand how I feel is not possible. It was at the Overnight that I finally began to feel like I wasn t alone, and that Matt s death wasn t my fault. -DenaeErickson-Pottembaum, HuffPostArticle, Suicide Loss Survivor
