Progress
Posted by Monique Colver on November 22, 2010
Today we, or I, as the case may be, am sending the manuscript out for editing. It’s been over 2 years since Stew died, and in that time I’ve also lost my Mom to cancer. I’m hoping to make it through this year without losing anyone else, and so far, so good. Many others have lost people close to them, but I remain untouched since last November when my Mom passed. I’m not normally change averse, but we all are, to some degree, and so I’ve put off the next step. I don’t know why. I could guess at my motivations, but in the end I’d just say I’m lazy anyway, so let’s not and say we did.
Stew wanted to help others, to let them people know what it was like, and he wanted to make sense of what happened to him. I’m not sure he ever did understand. I never have. But if you have a mental illness, know that you are not alone, and that there is hope. If you love someone with mental illness, know that you’re not alone, and that there is hope. That’s what Stew wanted people to know.
