My friend and fellow blogger Janet, who goes by the name Iheartfashion, has lost her husband to suicide. It is a terrible time for her and her two kids. No one saw this coming, and now she needs our support. If you can make a donation, even a tiny one, go here. If you can send her love and strength, go here.
Janet has listened to me in my moments of darkness. She is a woman with a big heart who now has a tough road to walk, but let’s remind her that she’s not alone.
I’m in shock I read about it on Wendy’s and it is terrible. Of course I’ll do what I can. Please send her my love and tell her to stay strong for the children no matter what it takes x
This is really terrible. No words… Janet is a great woman and I know she’ll make it through this. Especially with great friends like you.
I can’t express how sad I am to read this news. Poor Janet. She’ll get through it, but this . . . this is the pits.
Had no idea that was what happened. Fucks sake. Have ordered a genie already.
Please tell everyone you know who is going off the map with depression and trying to hide in their cave -COME OUT! there is always someone to talk to about this.

Janet: if you are reading this. Don’t let go. Stay with us. xx
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no – this is so awful, I wish so badly there was something I could do. Hold on Janet, just hold on.
That is so horrible. My heart goes out to Janet and her family.
It is so terrible and so unfair. I can’t understand why life is so cruel…it is beyond my comprehension.
My prayers go out to Janet and her family.
Dear Janet, I couldn’t find an email address on your blog, but I hope you read this. I am sending so much love to you and your kids. I know how it feels to lose someone to suicide, and I am sending all the love in the world to you.
Dear Janet, I’m so sorry this happened, and to you of all people. I know I’m a stranger to you, but I still hope you and your kids are ok- or if you’re not, that you will be. Like angela, I’ve lost friends to suicide, and cannot even imagine how it must feel to lose a husband that way. All my love to you, and again, I hope you’ll be ok.
In an odd way I think all of us who sit here so regularly at the feet of Sister Wolf almost constitute a club, or at least, it has a very clubbable atmosphere and when such a shocking thing happens to a fellow club member even I, who normally rears away from public displays of emotion, am moved to express my sympathy and once again shake my head in disbelief at a cold, implacable universe which seems to show no mercy. My mother had a saying, “If wishes were horses beggars would ride”, but even so I do wish Janet all the strength she needs to get through this.
My heart sincerely goes out to Janet and her family. I simply cannot fathom how it must feel to loose someone to suicide. As someone who’s been diagnosed as a depressive, and had thoughts of suicide, I know how easy life can spiral out of control. Sadly some of us don’t come out the other side. I hope she find strength for her children to get through this
Many blessings to you and your children during this dark time, Janet. Om peace, peace, peace.
Dearest Janet
While there may be a limit to what I can donate, there is no limit on the love and the prayers that I am sending to you and yours at this dark time.
All my love and blessings

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. David is right, we are sort of a club and I find myself surprised at how much this is affecting me even though I don’t know Janet at all, except through you, Sister Wolf.
Much love and strength to Janet and all of Sister Wolf’s readers.
Janet we love you. You can get through it. You’re not alone.
Janet – I’m so very sorry you & your children have to experience this. Know that I am beaming strength & wisdom to all of you. Will be thinking of you every day.
I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from the blogosphere. It’s so so comforting at this terrible time.
Thank you all.
Janet
Janet…. I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I know these are very difficult times know that you and your children do not walk alone as we are all here for you lending an ear and much love. Be strong as this is “his” legacy NOT yours.
I can’t stop thinking about this since I read the post this morning. How do you explain this to kids? Those beautiful kids.
I’m going over to WB’s blog to send a donation now.
Janet– kids are resilient little fuckers. It will be ok.
Janet, I wish you strength to go through this hard time, and hope that you and your kids have all the support you need in this situation. Wish you and your family all the best. My thougts are with you.
This is so sad, words are not enough…
Janet
I know we don’t know one another, Queen Marie just told me the awful news. Hold fast to those that remain, strength comes from unexpected place.
Love & Blessings

David – I think you’re right, we are a club and you are an important member. Connections made in cyberspace are as precious as any other, and as real.
I talked to Janet, who is holding herself together and appreciates the love and concern everyone has sent her way. To quote Janet: “Even David Duff!”
sorry i’m so late to this post, but i have been going through a pretty rough time as of late(nothing like this though) and haven’t been reading this as often as i should.
deepest sympathies from this corner of the earth heading your way.
