W ho is Talking to You?

It breaks my heart that I am writing to you simply because you are in a place of suffering from suicide loss. It’s not a group I thought I’d ever be a part of. Never in a million years did I believe my family would be touched by suicide. I still can’t believe it.

This unconventional family shot was taken on a painting trip but it’s the only one I have where I am not behind the lens.

We homeschooled our kids until university and because we were all in the home we were very close. God was and is the center of our family. We are blessed that each child has a thriving relationship with the Lord.

I am a photographer and thankfully was able to capture much of the kids’ lives never knowing how much those pictures would mean. Todd is a preaching elder at our church and works in the entertainment industry.  He passed on his love of art to all the children. They each pursued art or film in university, and Tristan was due to pursue the same until the day arrived that he could not keep himself alive.

If you can gain any comfort from our journey I will gladly share what God has taught us since Tristan went to be with Him.
