This special day began in 1997 by the organization CompassionateFriends.org We will begin our program below once you have lit your candle and go until 8pm. This starts in New Zealand I believe and goes across the globe worldwide. What a special way to remember our children.

11-17-12 International Survivor of Suicide Loss Day
11-17-12 International Survivor of Suicide Loss Day
I just got done watching a Support Webinar, check it out “here”
As the Holiday season begins, we tend to get a bit sad. Even though we don’t do this consciously, it happens every year. When will I get over it? Never!
I have gotten to a place in my life where I am functioning at a much higher capacity, but I will never be the same. The loss of a child cannot be completely healed. I will forever carry this burden with me. There simply isn’t a way to “Get over It”.
I am very grateful to be where I am at today, and I think I have learned how to better manage my grief. So, please don’t feel sorry for me, but instead be happy for me. I am very happy for myself!
Love to you all!
Priscilla

Walk for Suicide Prevention Awareness Saturday June 9th in Reedley, CA
Will you walk with us for Suicide Prevention Awareness on Saturday June 9th in Reedley, CA?
Here is the deal…..as you know, my husband Tony and I were supposed to be in San Francisco this weekend to walk in memory of my son Cliff. Well, since we have not raised the minimum $1,000 per person, we cannot attend and walk unless we pledge to give that amount sometime in the near future. Unfortunately that is just not possible right now. So, we will be walking in Reedley Saturday instead!
Please join us at the Reedley Cemetery at the entrance closest to the office. ( 2185 S. Reed Ave., Reedley, CA) We will be 3/4 of the way down where my son Cliff is buried. We will meet at 5:30pm and then we will walk from the cemetary down and through Reedley until dusk where we will meet again at the cemetary and share the moment with eachother and just talk about the loved ones we miss due to suicide.
I hope to see you there as we bring awareness to suicide.
Please email me with any questions you might have, and please pass the word along so anyone who would like to join us can!

Out of the Darkness – Dusk to Dawn
My husband and I will be walking in memory of my son Clifford E. Widmer, III We both need to raise a minimum of $1,000 I went to the team site and see that many teams have raised Huge amounts of money. This is our first year, so I am not going to dwell on the fact that we have not raised a ton of money, instead i will embrace the journey and reflection on my sons life as we raise awareness of suicide prevention.
Please visit our donation page and consider making a donation! Next year I hope to have our non-profit in place and will raise much more money for the cause.

Today Show; stress less holiday
Did you see the segment on the Today Show this morning? It was regarding having a stress less holiday. I have the video below…..take a look at it!
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Now they are speaking about families that have split up here, but this pertains to those who have lost loved ones to death as well. Often times there are children left as well. Keep this in mind, and try to make a new tradition that will not make it so hard on you because your loved one is not there.
Join me this evening on my weekly call as we talk a bit about the holidays, and perhaps how we can make new traditions that will help us get through the holidays. Also, I have some sources for discounted drugs, drug cards, and in some cases programs for free drugs.
Call in information: 559-546-1200 Meeting ID# 440-924-308# Promptly at 7pm PST
You are welcome to call in and discuss this with me, or just share about your loved one, and maybe even a suggestion on how you will start a new tradition this year!
I look forward to hearing from you all tonight!
Priscilla, Cliff’s Mom

I became a retail customer of Send Out Cards in June for my Real Estate business. I soon found out that I would join the business to raise money for my passion in memory of my son @ CliffsStory.com and ultimately "CLIFFORD'S HOUSE".
If you wouldn't mind, click on the pic above and take a look! While you are there....go ahead and send a card to someone you love! It's free!~
Then if it looks like something you would like, please join and help me in my efforts to raise money for Cliff's Story! We have many new plans to raise awareness of teen suicide, mental illness, etc. CLIFFORD'S HOUSE will be a ranch where young adults can come and learn life skills while taking care of rescued horses and dogs!
Thank you very much!
