It’s amazing how a span of time can feel as though it passed slowly and quickly at the same time. The tour is officially over, and we’re left feeling a massive mix of different kinds of emotions.
In a short amount of time, we accomplished a lot, and not just the two of us, but everyone who contributed to making the first ever Send Silence Packing tour a success. We could not have done this without the amazing support of the chapters and their campuses, our national office, and everyone who came to interact with the displays.
When we started this journey neither one of us realized how much we would learn throughout this journey. We have been touched by the lives of each person we have met along the way and we feel honored to have been a part of this amazing journey. It is our sincere hope that we have been able to convey even an ounce of what we experienced here on the blog. We would like nothing more than for the success of this trip to be felt by all. It is difficult to express just how important this topic is, and how necessary it is that we talk about suicide and mental health. It is our wish that Send Silence Packing will tour again.
It’s hard to find words to match the appreciation we feel for being able to be a part of this. There are so many things that came together to make this tour happen. There are so many people to thank. Thank you for visiting and interacting with the display. Thank you to the people that contributed in some way to get us on the tour. Thank you for following our blog as we tried to share the experience with you. Thank you for your comments, your emails, your responses. Thank you to Active Minds for both giving us this amazing opportunity and creating such an amazing display. Thank you to the chapters that hosted our events. Thank you, especially, to the friends and families that shared their stories. We could go on and on with people to that, so we’ll end with this: thank you.
