    Thank you so very much for the passion, simplicity and grace with which you shared your grief and joy. You've inspired me as I still grieve our son's suicide with numerous unanswered questions on my mind. Your journey is one of hope and joy which I trust I will discover as I walk through this road of pain.

    Thank you so much Amy for your sharing of tragedy to triumph and the impact of grief, loss and love on your life. Your sincerity and passion and recognition of the pain and also the beauty are very inspiring. I would like to see the video game and, with your permission, use it as a learning tool in my psyc 101 class. Our chapter on Emotions, Stress and Health will have much more relevancy, depth and play were we to include that. Thank you, Joel and Joel's brothers, mother and father.
