If you or someone you know has lost someone in your life, you know the following days, weeks, and months can be a confusing time. You might have focused on finding support, giving support, or just getting back into a routine. At HelpLine of Delaware and Morrow Counties, Inc., we understand that this alone is a difficult process and one that is unique to every person.
However, when someone loses a loved one to suicide, the grief is even more complex, and finding a way to remember them can be inspiring and painful all at the same time. For those with or without direct experience with suicide loss who understand the significant impact and would like to make a difference, the Delaware Suicide Prevention Coalition has created an opportunity for anyone looking to use their experience for a greater cause.
On Saturday, September 7, 2013, friends, families, professionals, and caring community members will gather at Bicentennial Park to do just that. At the 3rd annual Suicide Prevention Walk in Delaware, Ohio, the message is “I Walk to Save A Life” and the theme is Hope.
Last year’s attendees said that it was comforting to be around others who have lost someone. Others said that they came just to support the cause and it was a beautiful gathering. We would like to personally invite you, a friend, a family member, or anyone in your life to attend.
In addition to the healing and inspiration that comes from the Walk’s variety of events, we are accepting donations that directly benefit the Delaware Suicide Prevention Coalition’s efforts. Donate for the cause, donate for a memory, or donate to help others find hope.
