My daughter, who lost her battle with mental illness, is still the bravest pe... By Doris A.
Fuller April 20 I lost my darling daughter Natalie to mental illness last month. She killed herself a few weeks short of her 29th birthday by stepping in front of a train in Baltimore. Natalie and I wrote a book together when she was 16: “Promise You Won’t Freak Out: A Teenager Tells Her Mother the Truth About Boys, Booze, Body Piercing, and Other Touchy Topics (and Mom Responds).” MIARB_Annual_Report_2007. 3109-16.03.11.
Creation of a declared place. Mental health: How three people are falling through the cracks. They may be surrounded by people, but they are alone, held hostage by their minds.
They are with you on the bus, in the next cubicle and at the playground. They are teachers, lawyers and police officers, young and old, men and women. They live with pain. Some kill themselves as a final cure. In Canada, 1 in 5 people live with mental illness and chances are they aren’t receiving the help they need.
