On Saturday, May 9, I was honored to join the Steps for Strong Minds 5K Run/Walk at the University of Michigan-Dearborn as a guest speaker and advocate on behalf of Kevin’s Song.

Events like this remind us that mental health is not just something we talk about, it’s something we actively support, together. Every step taken is a step toward awareness, healing, and hope.

As someone who has experienced the profound impact of suicide loss, I understand how important it is to create safe spaces where people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to keep going. Through advocacy, storytelling, and community connection, we can break the silence surrounding mental health and remind others that they are never alone.

In the spirit of healing and sharing, I invite you to receive a free copy of my international best-selling book, Speaking of Love by visiting the link below: 

Here’s a description of the book followed by a link to download your free PDF copy:

At some point in our lives, we will inevitably lose someone we love. In most cases, grief does not look the same for everyone. The loss of a loved one can be extremely difficult to overcome, especially when it involves a murder-suicide. This is exactly what happened to La Toya Bond on March 2, 2020. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by phone calls and text messages revealing that her father had taken his own life in a murder-suicide. Coping with life as a suicide loss survivor can be heart-wrenching and lonely. However, this book is a living testament of the fact that you can rise above your grief and live a life of quality. This book is a helpful tool for anyone suffering the loss of a loved one to suicide. The author’s purpose for writing this book is to provide tools to help others heal after losing a loved one to suicide. Speaking Of Love, takes its readers on a journey in pursuit of the strongest magnetic force on the planet Earth, Love!

With Love,
La Toya Bond
