Sweet Slumber
Photo taken by Joan Currie from San Francisco, California, USA, of Lauren DiMarco.
About this photo: When my husband was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis he sank into a deep depression and decided that life was not worth living. I awoke each morning filled with dread that, perhaps in the night, he had executed one of his many plans to terminate his life and I needed to find his body before my young daughters did.

Wow…what a powerful statement. how terrible.
Thank you for your comment. This is the first time I have talked about my husband’s suicide period. It lasted for several years and robbed my daughters of the carefree childhood that they so richly deserved.
Warmly! Joan
Such a sad statement.. I have hair standing straight up on my arms right now.. poor woman.. I am so sorry for her situation.. I can only pray for her husband… :’(
Sad statement, beautiful photo.
Powerful photo reflecting a very sad story. I especially like how you captured the idea of peaceful sleep you craved.
It’s very interesting hearing the other point of view…very happy o see your husband’s suicidal period is over? Best to you & your family.
