Created for Donation

My dear husband died by suicide in 1995. My sweet nephew (J.J. Feehan) lost a precious long time best friend in the same tragic way. He has started and maintains a non-profit for suicide awareness. He covers all expenses associated with the non-profit and takes no wages for his work or time.

I just finished crocheting this wall hanging and it will be donated to the non-profit in memory of my husband. It is to be auctioned off and 100% of the proceeds will go to “Pete’s Legacy”.

DEATH vs SUICIDE

Death – a stone dropped into dark and cold water spreading circles and circles outward in echoing waves of sorrow and pain. The echoing waves affect many until enough time passes to still the water bringing forth a sense of peace and healing.

Suicide – a stone dropped into dark and cold water but one that stays forever tethered to the shore by guilt and unanswered questions. Suicide’s stone is pulled up, gazed at over and over then tossed afresh into the water never allowing time the chance to still the echoing waves. With this stone time brings no peace or healing.
