Hello everyone. I just wanted to touch base about Jason. Things are still horribly sad and I miss my brother more and more everyday. I haven't been on but wanted to reach out and tell you all again how wonderful and heart warming it is to read all your posts. I had at first hesitated about...

Thank you so so so much for sharing your hardships and successes. It takes courage to speak out. This illness should never leave anyone feeling stigmatized or lonely. Jason was an awesome man and had accomplished so much success, happiness, admiration.... I don't know how mental health and or...

Thank you for commenting on the post. I was asked to write in while still quite emotional and in a short period of time. I hesitated to write about what happened as I don't want his life to be overshadowed by his death. He was a great kind hearted soul and very physically healthy. Something...

He was indeed a great person. Loved his friends and family and really a generous kind soul. How this all happened so fast, is still so shocking. Thank you for your kind words.

Hello.. Yes this all seem to start five years ago but after a year of physical pain he pulled through and resumed a full life... travel, droning, work, hockey both ice and ball! He may be upset with me for sharing but I needed to share and talk!!! People need to seek help or recognize in others...

Jason was always thrilled to answer peoples questions on this site. He was so committed to this family. Thank you

Yes he brought his drone everywhere. He texted me a pic of myself sitting by my pool from the sky and I jumped up thrilled he had been spying on me from my driveway lol Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for your kind words.

I know.. he had such an effervescence for life! He was JASON!! It is hard to understand how this all happened so fast. But this site is helping me. I have lost my other half so reading all that he meant to so many does help.

It's all so confusing and shocking, indeed. He posted on Sat. But we will forgive and move forward respecting him, missing him and loving him. Thank you for sharing.

Well said. From the heart. It is so important to recognize in oneself and others, yes, the signs and symptoms that can alter one's life. Early!! Thank you for replying to me and your kind wishes.

Thank you for sharing and I am sorry for your loss as well. Certainly isolation compounded this as well. I tried to share with Jason all that I had struggled with and had overcome as a retired police officer of 31 years. If I could survive so could he!!!! I thought he would collapse of sleep...

Hello and thank you for sharing your grief. Yes it was a shock. He was gregarious and kind and so enjoyed contributing to this site and others and having such a strong tie with the city. Things deteriorated so quickly it is difficult to comprehend. Prior to January all appeared fine. No one...

Thank you for your heart felt message.And I am very sorry to hear your brother passed away. That is sad news as well. I forgive Jason as the darkness over shadowed him for the last few months and he could not pull out. But he was on this site the day before he passed so confusion remains...

yes reading these posts and being exposed to this site is helping me and my kids heal. It was such a shock and we are guilt ridden. He didn't always feel the way he did these last six months. It's all so surreal. Thank you

It was a shock! Jason was not always struggling but did have a severe episode a few years ago of panic anxiety etc. This disease reared its ugly head 6 months ago and he could not pull out f it. I am guilt ridden I could not save him. He was a light in my life. Reading these posts surely help...

Thank you for your insight. Jason did not always struggle. He was a healthy engaged person but yes, everyone at times struggles. These last 5 months or so something in Jason changed and his mental health deteriorated but NO ONE ever thought he was that devoid and just so sad. We will never come...

Hello and thank you for sharing your own pain. I am guilt ridden that I could not save Jason but I am certain these posts and article are helping others now. I will be in touch with you soon about Jason.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts too. Yes it was indeed a shock and I am heart broken I could not save my brother. He didn't always struggle and lead a happy engaged life but this damn disease took him over 6 months ago... and hopefully Craig's article will help others. He knew how much he...
