Tempted Life Effects "Where's My Mind?"

Suicide is a touchy subject. Why? Why is there so much stigma around the word and meaning of suicide?  The other day I was surfing through videos on Facebook and stumbled upon a video of a tragic story. This story was of a 13 or 14 year old little girl whom had committed suicide after watching a show of "13 Reasons Why". Now I am deeply saddened about this young girls life being cut short.

My baby girl Sassy, Sharing my lost pet story            If anyone has ever lost a loving pet they would understand my thoughts and feelings today. I lost my loving chihuahua Sassy In Dec. of 2017. She was my best friend for 11 years. I first got her when my first daughter was still in my belly. She was so tiny and soft. Sassy had a way about her that was calm and sweet.

Her sister was Tippy my grandmother named her baby. She passed away two weeks before my grandmother did. Baby had bad seizures and her meds stopped working. My grandmother's cancer spread from her lungs to her brain with in a matter of 3 weeks.          Sassy passed almost 3 months after I had a bilateral mastectomy for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, I had to put her to sleep ...
