In January of 2017, we lost Stacie to suicide. Her death changed our lives forever and opened our eyes to the profound impact mental health struggles can have on individuals and families. Like so many others affected by suicide, we were left with grief, unanswered questions, and the painful realization of how often suffering goes unseen.

Healing has not been easy or linear. Over time, our grief evolved into purpose, teaching us that remembering Stacie means speaking openly, breaking the silence around suicide, and advocating for awareness and prevention. Her life mattered, and her story continues to inspire us to create space for honest conversations and compassion.
