He drove up to me and said `Get in the truck. You need to rest.' "Had he been able to open up about his pain, it might be a different story. He suffered a disease we were unable to help him with." The day Daniel died, Keane's daughter put her arms around her and said, "I know you'll make something out of this." And she has. Keane has dedicated her life to sharing her family's story, educating about the causes of depression and the importance of treating mental illness. Her writing has been featured in the National Post and the Globe and Mail and she has been on CTV and CBC. She also works with mental health professionals and organizations as a speaker and advocate. Her book, Give Sorrow Words, is a literary memoir that shares her quest to understand her son's death and challenges how we stigmatize mental illness. Give Sorrow Words interweaves memories of the last months of Daniel's life with explorations of Keane's grieving process. Keane documents warning signs leading to Daniel's death and questions the role family denial played in the tragedy. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young Canadians. The book delves into how our society treats mental illness and what support is available for young people. Using research and interviews about adolescent depression, chronic health conditions and brain injury, Keane argues for additional support and treatment. For more information, visit lynnkeane.ca. Recognizing the signs It can be difficult to recognize signs of de- pression in adolescents and young adults. · If you are concerned, ask questions with compassion and love and without judging. · Look for symptoms like physical changes, inability to concentrate, sleeping less or sleeping more, not attending school. · Talk about mental health. Start talking to your kids in age-appropriate ways from when they are young to demystify the disease. This could make it easier for them to tell someone how they are feeling. · Visit lynnkeane.ca for mental health resources.
