JUNE 16th to JUNE 30th, 2011

LEAVING THE HALL LIGHT ON
by MADELINE SHARPLES

SYNOPSIS:
  Leaving the Hall Light On is about living after loss. It's about finding peace and balance and various ways the author, Madeline Sharples, finds to bring herself together after feeling so helpless and out of control during her son Paul's 7-year struggle with bipolar disease and after his suicide in September 1999.
  Sharples explains: "I write about the steps I took in living with the loss of my son, including making use of diversions to help me forget. Leaving the Hall Light On is also about the milestones I met toward living a full life without him: packing and giving away his clothes, demolishing and redoing the scene of his death, cataloging and packing away all his records and books, copying all of his original music compositions onto CDs, digitizing all of our family photos, and gutting his room and turning it into my office and sanctuary with a bay window that looks out toward a lush garden and a bubbling water fountain."

I hope you do read it Victoria. It is sad but meant to be uplifting and inspiring as well.
It's amazing, Ann, how many of us know some bipolar or with another mental illness. We've got to get the word out that it's okay to talk about it so people will feel free to get help.
Thanks, both of you, for coming by. Madeline

I know a lot of people with Bipolar disorder. I have a dear friend who's currently going through a rough time and off her medicine and it's become quite scary as to what'll happen next.

My Mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I think bipolar today is also a broad generalization that people get put into. I also have a friend who son has been diagnosed with this and many others borderline personality disorders. It sure keeps life never normal or boring! Rita Spratlen
