You see this young beautiful girl? That’s Emily Jerome. She’s my twin sister. I’m approximately 12 minutes older than her. We grew up together and did not leave each other’s side. We had each other’s back for the past 16 years. She was happy, beautiful, intelligent, loved and lived her life to the fullest. She had the most beautiful bright red hair and a smile that could light up a room.
On Saturday, February 18th, 2012, my twin sister committed suicide at the age of 16. It was the worst thing I have ever gone through, and am still currently going through. A part of me is missing without her here in my life. She was such a big impact on my life and now that she’s gone, I feel lost and incomplete.
It’s been a week and I feel the same as when I found her that morning. Emily did not realize how many people love her and care for her. Hundreds of people made their appearance at her visitation, funeral and burial. If only she knew how important she was to so many people.
Mental illness is a serious matter and it needs to be dealt with. Depression can take control over your thoughts and emotions, which is when you need to get serious help. If you ever feel lost, alone, scared, lonely, useless, worthless, unwanted, unloved or suicidal, PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE. Talking to someone can help you vent and get you professional help. Emily was hospitalized twice to a mental health unit in a children’s hospital. Did it help? You tell me.
All I have left of my twin sister are the memories of her, of us together and with our friends and family. You need to cherish the moments and memories you have because you will not realize how much they will mean to you in the future.
Remember, you all have something to look forward to. Graduating out of high school, going to college/university, moving out and living on your own, traveling with your friends, road trips, birthdays, holidays, getting a job, getting married, having children, having grandchildren, and living your life to the absolute fullest.
Please realize what you have and who you have in your life before you think of throwing it away. You don’t even realize who you are hurting or effecting.
Rest in peace and paradise Emily Marie Jerome. My beloved sister, twin, best friend, and other half. You’re with God now and you are finally happy. There’s no more pain or suffering where you are now. I love you and miss you so much, no words can describe it. July 10th 1995 - February 18th 2012.
