Keep Going (must have)

[Neverland Scraps]

Without going in to too much details as I was browsing Shawna's store, I stumbled upon Keep Going





**link to bundle**

I'm so glad I found this kit. If you know someone (or even you) who has contemplated thoughts of suicide, this is a kit that you NEED to get before it's gone from the shop!! I bought this kit in a heartbeat when I realized what it was. I don't know how I missed this when it was released. I"m not sure when it was released, but seriously if I missed it, maybe someone else did as well!

I'm going to be scrapping with this kit TODAY. And when I do, I'm coming back here to post it. Shawna and Amanda, from this Mama's heart, thank you! I needed this kit this week and you'll see how much when I get working/finished my layout!

oh wow what a beautiful and powerful kit

[Neverland Scraps]

Thank you again Amanda and Shawna. We are coming up on one year when our life turned upside down. Every mother's worst nightmare happened with one small phone call. This year, I wasn't sure how I was going to document the progress/milestones. Today, I journaled and journaled.
I cried and cried some more. After all the journaling was written, I erased most of it (just like I did when I did the initial scrap therapy layouts last year), because while the progress and milestones are important, the journaling is more for me. To express it; to say it outloud. I wrote it down and got it all off my chest. It's been a rough year, very rough. I don't know if I will post this anywhere else online. But I wanted to thank you for making a kit specific to people who's story isn't over! I really do appreciate it!

oh Wendy! I am so so sorry it happened to you. Losing a child has to be the worst possible thing to overcome. And I'm sure overcoming isn't even right because who can overcome such tragedy. I ache for you and your pain.

That's a beautiful page, Wendy, and I'm so sorry circumstances led you to need to scrap it. I'm thankful that you've seen progress over the last year, and I hope this year brings happiness and peace for your family.

Oh, Wendy!!!!

What a thing to go through. I can't even imagine.

I did not lose her. We almost lost her, but a guardian angel walked in on her and helped her stop. If that person wasn't where they were, at that time, things would have been completely different today. Instead, we celebrate life, even though every day is a struggle and a trial for the one who thought she needed to end it a year ago.

Thank you so much, Wendy, for sharing this!! Just over a year ago, we had a similar scare with my son. We are still trying to find healing. It's been very rough. We lost my brother to suicide almost 4 years ago. I refuse to lose my son.

I'm so sorry your family is going through this as well. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen or anything, I'm right here! In my journaling (then and now) I wrote how there wasn't an instruction manual on attempted/suicide for parents. Living here in Colorado where they have the highest suicide rates in the nation, it's eye-opening what kind of support parents need for dealing with their children and how limited resources there are available to said parents. I've rambled, but please know I'm here if you need anything!

Thank you, Wendy! That really means a lot to me. The same goes for you. We will get through this, as will our kids!

Wow Wendy! Thank you for sharing such an emotional time with the rest of us. My step-father that raised me took his own life and the feelings that come with losing a loved one to suicide is too much to bear sometimes. I couldn't even imagine how that must feel when it's your own child. I truly hope that the days, months, years ahead continually improve for all of you. Sending lots of love your way!

So sorry for this, Wendy! I hope everyone and everything improves in time. Sending you hugs. Thanks for sharing this difficult time and your page with us.

Oh thank goodness!

Big hugs Wendy! I just can't imagine the pain of having to go through that. I'm glad you were able to do some scrap therapy using this kit.

Oh Wendy I am so sorry for this! HUGS! This is a subject that shouldnt be ignored. Shawna and I hold this kit close to our hearts and I am so blessed to see that this kit has reached others, as our intentions were exactly that. What a beautiful layout and thank you for sharing your story <3
