Keeping it Together: Share your grief story with Paste BN

Isaiah Moorefield died by suicide five years ago. His mother Rachel remembers him every day.

Her 19-year-old son was here one moment, then he was gone.

"He changed everything about me. He made me want to be a better person and a mom and my life became about being a mom for him," says Moorefield, 42, of Apex, North Carolina. "And he has always been and always was a great kid, just very charismatic, very witty, extremely intelligent."
