Without Tim

The first boy our community lost was Tim. For some reason Emily always felt a connection to him though she had never met him. Over the years Emilys curiosity grew into a friendship with Tims Mom. Emily helped design Lisa's book cover.

Lisa's book is a must read for all parents. It gives an honest look into a family with parents that were devoted to thier children, addressed any issues that came up with grace and with every ounce of who they were. Still, Tim stuggled. Lisa gives an honest window into the damage that can be done with drugs and alcohol in the life of a teen. That path sadly led Tim to a desperate depression. Tim was an honor student, 4th in his class, and an athlete with a scholarship to Drexel, but he suffered still.

If you find that you are in a place of real sadness that you just cant shake, or if you know deep in your heart that you need help please go to Lisa Schenke’s website.

Losing Tim in April of 2008. Lisa through her grief has become a strong advocate and source for those who struggle. Her powerful book that we think is a must for all parents. Other links to websites and hotlines that could help you are on her page.

Please always remember you are loved, you are valuable and that there is always hope.
