The words of Life Crisis worker, Linda Fehrmann, resonate with deep compassion and sincerity.  She, too, is a survivor of suicide.  Her son took his life in 2000.  She began attending our SOS groups to try and understand the tragedy, to obtain some comfort from others who were also struggling to cope with the loss. Her journey soon took on a life of its own.  She started a parent support group for those who had lost sons/daughters to suicide.  The groups are held at St. Luke's Hospital.  In 2004, Linda went back to school to obtain her Master's degree in counseling.  She did her practicum at our Life Crisis program, graduated in 2007 and continued to work at LCS on a part-time basis, both as a LCS worker and a SOS  group facilitator.   About 4 - 5 years ago, she formed a second SOS group in St. Charles at the Baue Community Center.
