Dear Abigail

A Story of Suicide Awareness

Elle and Abigail are the closest of friends but tragedy strikes forcing Elle to learn to cope on her own. Together, we dive into a world of hurt and fear, of sadness so deep it pains to the core all in an effort to understand the mind of two victims, one gone from this world too soon and the other left to fight the greatest battle she has ever come against. Depression and mental illness are real monsters who, some times, attack together and the battle is never won and never lost, merely crossed. The result is something completely different than what started, a person who can see shadows of who they used to be but there is strength alongside darkness, there is power in the moments we think we are losing.
