I so wish I could have shared my memoir about a son's #loss from #suicide with #LisaMariePresley. Silence of Morning: A Memoir of Time Undone took 7 yrs to write after my son also died at 27 from suicide. I wish her peace. #memoir #silenceofmorning #grief shorturl.at/tuEI3

Grief levels us. #Grief does not disappear with time. Sending peace and love to #LisaMariePresley. I also lost a son to #suicide at 27, spent 7 yrs writing The Silence of Morning. Wish I could have shared it with her. #loss #pain shorturl.at/tuEI3

Why #write a #memoir that took 7 yrs in the aftermath of my son's #suicide? To better understand a deeply challenging time; to reach out to others. I want Silence of Morning to be a #friend to anyone devastated by a sudden #loss. RIP #LisaMariePresley shorturl.at/tuEI3
