Thursday September 08, 2016 it will be five years since my beloved son took his own life.
It's burned into my mind and I can see and hear it just like it was yesterday!
I haven't changed one thing about why I'm here.
No one should die because of antidepressants, but it won't STOP until these drugs are taken off the market.
Tommy's Birthday is January 25, 1969. He would have turned 48.
No card bought. No cake baking. No birthday meal planned. No family gathering.
His face is just one of thousands gone before their time. Gone because of pharmaceutical lies! Gone because he trusted his doctor to "First do no harm!" Gone because he had anxiety!
I have spent these remaining years of my life, warning people that antidepressants can and do cause suicide. Tommy is proof of this truth. If he were here, he'd ask you, is taking antidepressants worth the risk? I'm asking, is it really worth the risk?
If you feel inclined, watch how it feels to lose a child you love deeply. If you are moved by it, or believe it, then share. You could save a precious life.
Tommy's Story
Happy Heavenly Birthday Tommy. I miss and love you more each year.

This date, this unimaginable date is upon me. If I close my eyes and still myself, I can hear the wailing sounds of me. I feel the unmerciful pain hitting me. I can see me writhing on the floor, in inconsolable agony. Those three incessant words, invading and burning into my mind. "Tommy committed suicide!" My child, snatched away in the blink of an eye. This can't be true. How do I breath? How do I continue to live? How do I survive this trauma? God tell me how? How could such a happy, loving, strong, generous, friendly, beautiful man die in such a incomprehensible, violent way? I couldn't even begin to wrap my mind around this. I was numb! Mother's are not suppose to witness their child being buried...
One evening, I was sitting on my bed, staring into the nothingness of my life and my son came to me. "MOM HELP ME!" "I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT!" Can you imagine the powerless feeling I had, when my child called beyond the grave, asking me to help him! He must have had a lot of faith in me. Because, that's all I had going for me, just his few desperate words...
After I found out that Tommy was taking two antidepressants for anxiety, Zoloft and Wellbutrin, they were my only leads. I set out to find some answers. To see if, these drugs could have played a part in my son's death. Did I ever find answers! These antidepressants were the "only" reason for Tommy's death! Knowing this truth did not bring my son back, though. I needed to figure out, not only how to live without my son, I needed a reason to live...
My purpose....
No one's beloved child, should die because of "psychiatric" drugs! And, I know Tommy is in this fight with me. Not only to warn about the "truth" of these toxic, deadly psychiatric drugs, but to see the day, when antidepressants are no longer available to MURDER anyone else's beloved child...
RIP my son, until one sweet day...

" I will always talk about my son. Time will never stop my love for him or stop my missing him. He should be here, antidepressants took him from his family. That's the truth! " |
❤ such a tragedy! ❤ Thank you for sharing, my love goes to all who are affected by his death and all those affected by the lies and misinformation from big pharma.
ReplyDeleteI recall how much energy it took and what it felt like putting the pictures together and Elaine’s writings that came to me as I compose this for her so she could have her only son Tommy Fort true story published as his final tribute!
