Deissha

Hi, I’m Deissha. I lost my son’s dad, Melvin, to suicide while I was pregnant with our little boy. Since then, I’ve been raising our son on my own while dealing with serious health issues, including a heart attack during pregnancy and ongoing blood clots. My son and I finally have a place of our own, and I’m doing what I can to make it feel like home. Right now, one of our biggest needs is a bed for him, along with some basic furniture and household essentials. If you’re able to help with an item or share our wishlist, it would mean so much to us. Thank you for taking a moment to read our story. 💛 throne.com/deissh

“You matter on the days you can tell your story and on the days all you can say is, ‘It’s been hard.’” 🤍 What’s one thing you wish someone had said to you during a hard time?

Welcome to The Things We Carry. 💛 I made this page for anyone who’s ever wished someone would just listen. Share as much or as little as you want. You can ask for advice, say what’s weighing on you, or just sit with us awhile. You matter, and you’re welcome here.

“What’s one thing you wish people understood about what you’ve been through?”

I’m making this page because I want us to be able to talk about the things we’ve lived through, even when we don’t know how to put them into words. I’ll share parts of my own story about grief and starting over. You’re welcome to share yours, ask a question, or just listen. 💛
