My name is Rhonda. I'm a registered nurse, for the last 20 years, that has not been able to work since the day I learned of my daughter's death by suicide 4-12-13. (She actually died 4-11-13 and her body was not found until the 12th) Me and my husband have been married for 32 years and he's a wonderful man. We grieve in different ways. He works, I write. This is my journey through this horrible land of losing a child..

Marilyn Monroe
I’ve always been fascinated with this lady because I feel so bad for her. Beyond her beauty lay a truly tortured soul. She was really very insecure and the person she put forth to the public was not even her … Continue reading
