Her Story
Meet Rae, the most outstanding human I have ever met. Kind, caring, loving, giving, stunning, an amazing listener, the most infectious smile, a true "ray" of sunshine. Oh goodness, I could list a mile long the qualities that made up Rae.
THIS DEFINES HER. I could have started with my best friend on earth, my sidekick, my princess, my precious baby girl made the decision to end her life; that is not how I define my daughter. One decision and the ridicule, judgment and chatter begin. "Oh, she hid it so well", "I never thought Rachel was so weak", "I never knew she was crazy". The ridicule, judgement and chatter made me realize the stigma around mental health is a very real problem. Once I fully grasped how real it is, I made it my life mission to raise awareness.
I am faced with a dark cloud over my head, my daughter died by suicide. Since losing Rachel I choose to be better, not bitter. I decided to paint a silver lining on the dark cloud that is attempting to engulf my life. Reflection by Suz is part of that silver lining. Our designs promote self-love.
There are times we need a little reminder of just how amazing we really are. Put one of our encouraging tees on, take a look at your reflection and tell yourself -
I AM VALUABLE - I AM ENOUGH - I AM WORTHY
Because YOU ARE!!!
