On the 15th November 2014, my life changed forever...... I was left with only  memories of the past, struggling to survive the present, and accepting the reality that I have no future. Weeks after celebrating her 21st birthday Evangeline Dobson Douglas (Evie), my only child, completed suicide. 

Evie exuded creativity; she studied, sang, painted, taught and choreographed dance, travelled worldwide, was an exercise instructor, and participated in extreme sports: marathon running, skiing, Tough Mudder, micro lighting, and sky diving. She had so much to live for.........But Evie also struggled with her mental health and after years of depression she needed the pain to stop.

I miss her so much. I am searching now for a purpose in life, that's why I set up Inspiring Life: Evie Douglas Memorial Fund. Our charity reaches out to those with mental health issues and aims to improve well being in our community........ I don't want another mother to experience my pain.

My friends, go well

Freda
