Profile Information

My hometown:

I live in Brick, New Jersey the safest town in America, with my husband, of thirty-seven years Ted, and my ten-year-old son Sean. Since the death of my daughter Rebecca, I have become an active member of The American Foundation for Suicide Preventiion. I have a current New Jersey nursing license, I was chosen small businessperson of the year in 1993. I also wrote and published three poems, that are in the National Library of Poetry.

My books:

I have only written one book, but I am in the process of writing three more. It was a very painful experience to relive all of the situations in my book, but I thought that it would help others to do so, in order to capture all of the elements that my family and I went through with my daughter's suicide. My daughter Rebecca struggled with manic depression, and bipolar disorder, since the age of fifteen. Rebecca held our family hostage with her suicidal threats, as her demons tormented her on a daily basis, until she eventually took her own life, and left us with her four-year-old son Sean, whom we have since adopted.

It's nice to see a fellow poet/writer from New Jersey. (Who said there's no sensitivity in "Joisey?") I very much applaud the aims of your books, and wish you and your family all good things.

At 12:38pm on September 18, 2007, Catherine Graham said…: I am so sorry about your daughter. I suffered with depression too many times in my life, and tried to take my own life a few times as well. I am thankful now that I never succeeded, but know the pain all too well. May God be with you and your family and especially your daughter.
Take care,
