Survivor of Suicide Loss: A Title I Never Wanted | Wendy Mamer | TEDxSiouxFalls

Talking about suicide is hard and learning how to survive suicide loss is even harder. But how often is the hard thing to do, the right thing to do? Wendy’s talk will demonstrate the crossroads of love and loss and the importance of acknowledging what you feel. Wendy deeply believes that in order to move forward, we must first end the stigma that is holding us back. Wendy Mamer is an admission professional in higher education. In her role Wendy worked alongside a student leader to bring their first student-led mental health organization to campus which focuses on resiliency and suicide prevention; Wendy is a co-advisor of that organization. Outside of university programming, Wendy serves on the board of a local non-profit, Sad Isn't Bad, which provides a free grief counseling program for children and adults who care for them.

Wendy hopes that by sharing her personal story people will be inspired to show others, especially themselves, more grace. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
