Anniversary Next Week (Oh Boy)

[Bright Day Mom]

Hi All,

I am a new-ish member w/a 16yr old BPDD.  We have had quite the trying year and a half.  I will post a story at some point.

Do any of you have experience in teen suicide?  My D's friend completed last year (anniversary next week) and I wanted to reach out for some insight / ideas.

We have been working with her social worker RTC in preparation.  It will be a school day, (she attends an alternative HS) and she and I are planning an art class and dinner in the evening.  We've also talked about planting a tree in memory our home (once the weather breaks).

Any and all ideas, comments are welcome.  I just don't want to make a mistake.

Thanks for reading

This is a sad day of remembrance.

The plans you have sound lovely.  My only advice would be to let your d take the lead on that day and adjust plans accordingly.
