My Story

Welcome to Fighting For Tomorrow

Parenting a suicidal teen is a journey no one expects—a battle filled with fear, heartbreak, and sleepless nights. My name is Maggie, and I’ve been there. Over the past few years, I’ve fought to help my child navigate mental health struggles including severe depression, anxiety, and multiple suicide attempts. It’s been the hardest challenge of my life, but also one that taught me the power of love, resilience, and hope.

My mission is to offer a glimmer of hope to parents who are fighting for tomorrow, struggling to keep their child alive. Through sharing my family’s story, I want you to know you’re not alone.

This blog is about the lessons, mistakes, and small victories we’ve experienced. Over time, I’ll add additional resources and tools to support others on this journey—because no one should have to face it alone.

Even in the darkest moments, there’s light to be found. Let’s keep fighting for tomorrow, together.
