(which was nature) <br /><br />I loved the song.."In the arms of angels". That would make a great name for the tree. There are many darling angel ornaments out there.<br />You could maybe have a table and chairs with childrens books..all about angels. Maybe large gift wrapped presents with gift tags that read things to do to help with suicide prevention..Or art work displaying angels.<br />The tree skirt could be fabric of angels.<br />What was Jills favorite color? that could be your color scheme.<br /> It so helps if you can get a company to sponsor the tree. You are looking at spending at least$600-2,000+ for a beautiful tree.You will want to buy a pre-lit tree with tons of lights. and,,,, you can't have enough ornaments..The more the better.<br /><br />And yes...I would love to help out.<br /><br />(sorry, I rambled a bit. But Im excited for you to do this)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498060196353848915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-87958142456334685132012-08-27T08:25:20.716-06:002012-08-27T08:25:20.716-06:00u are one very special woman! :)u are one very special woman! :)namastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170605437186135506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-79619568573916424522012-08-26T21:10:18.764-06:002012-08-26T21:10:18.764-06:00I wish I lived closer so I could help with this! ...I wish I lived closer so I could help with this! Believe it or not, I've been giving it some thought. Do you know the Primary song "I Am Like A Star?" (I am like a star shining brightly, Shining for the whole world to see. I can do and say, Happy things each day, 'Cause I know Heavenly Father loves me." One of my favorite ones. What about that for a theme (self esteem/HF's love = spiritual strength = suicide prevention) and you collect star ornaments of all types and materials? Or a tree with just glass and crystal ornaments so its all crystal-ish and shimmery? That's what I picture - a tree that shimmers and glows with light and reflected light.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-71243250412469531542012-08-25T08:14:30.209-06:002012-08-25T08:14:30.209-06:00What an awesome idea.

I think an important part of awareness is for people to talk openly about it like you do. I know people who have been told to never talk about the suicide in their family. So maybe healing through honesty and communication. Or knowing you are not alone and that this has happened in many good families.

When I think of suicide prevention I think of " hope" and "hang on" and "reach out for help" or "it gets better". Or always tell people you love them and they can tell you anything. I had a deal with a young girl I was talking to when she was suicidal that every day I would ask her on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad was she feeling. One day it was an 8 and I knew I needed to run right over.
