Keith’s Mom and Dad

The following is from an article posted on August 16, 2007 which can be of help and comfort to other suicide survivors.  You might also like to listen to the archived radio program.keith2.jpg

On March 29, 1999, our son Keith died by suicide. At the time of his death I had no knowledge of suicide, and I was inundated with inaccurate and outdated descriptions of suicide and its causes.
I have created a website of information to help comfort and educate survivors of suicide, as well as clergy, health care professionals and counselors. For more information go to http://www.thegiftofkeith.com.
