To have lost the love of your life so young and vibrant, I cannot fathom your pain and the strength it took to endure each day. My heart is with you, my dear friend. I know that in hearing your story, I wish I could have turned back time for you. But I can't imagine how much you longed to do the same. You are an example and an inspiration for having the courage to stand up and protect others after the loss of your great love.
But to me, what you do for others is like turning back time; you stop the clock and allow them to think and learn. You give them the knowledge you now know, so they do not experience what Woody and you suffered.
Your great determination and strength have saved countless lives.
Your story lives in the hearts of many now, and I know all are proud of your work.
Beautifully written. Your words take away any hesitation in speaking of suicide and antidepressants.
In this, you have given so many the power to save their own life or the life of their loved ones. To me, it seems that you have not allowed big pharma to decide anything further in your life. You conquered over their cruelty through knowledge and love.
No matter how many times I hear your story it’s power and grief grip me. I agree Woody’s tragic death catapulted you into a world you never chose--but I am so grateful to have you as an ally in this war for truth, justice, and light.
And welcome to substack! Thank you for writing and sharing your words. Peace and 💜
Thankyou for sharing your story and being an advocate for those being harmed and used by big pharma. I am glad you have found something so positive out of your grief and having the strength and courage to advocate for those who unaware by using your husband’s story to share awareness. Your story is very powerful and hit me extremely hard personally , as I too am one who has been affected by these antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs and became suicidal and attempted to take my own life. I too have lost friends and family to suicide. It’s because of this, I advocate for mental illness and better treatment methods than prescriptions for harmful drugs. Thankyou, from my heart to yours. xx
Thanks Karri for sharing your comments. I am so happy you took your own experience (and the sad collective experience of friends and family) and advocating for better treatments. Unfortunately as many learn, sometimes tragically too late, the pills are not solutions. They have become bandaids. Appreciate your work and assume you are aware of www.madinamerica.com work. They are an amazing resource.
omg I am so so sorry. Thank you for starting this substack, I have seen you speak out on social media before now. Those bastard pharmas have to go down. I believe/pray that they will.
I read somewhere a couple of days ago that the current vaxx push was like the story of the man with the golden goose who killed the goose who was laying the golden eggs so he could get all the eggs out at once. I think Pfizer just killed that bird. I am praying that all of those criminals will be very soon held accountable for the sake of all the people right now (and in the future) who are being harmed by them.
Thank you for sharing. Your devastating loss was not in vain because it enabled you to see through the lies of the scamdemic and raise awareness of the ongoing iatricide.

I have read this before, but a link led me back today. When first reading your tragedy, I cried so hard and felt sad for such a long time. I can't imagine your pain. You inspired me to make the decision to very slowly wean myself off of the SSRIs I've been taking for 20 years. I told my doctor I am now aware of these drugs' histories; I'm not sure if she already knew, but I did peak her interest. Thankfully, my doctor and family are supportive. So far, so good! Thank you!
For anyone who comes back to this post, I have been off my SSRI for at least 8 months. The biggest surprise was the 50 pounds of excess weight that fell off without effort in only 5 months. I realize that's how much weight I gained in the first 5 years of being on the drug. I feel great, and I'm quite emotionally stable. It's the best health related thing I think I've ever done!
Kim, your passion and courage to speak has brought hope and inspiration to many. It has personally impacted my family as you know. I am forever grateful for your willingness to walk in the hard path in a day when most wouldn't.
I love telling people I know a woman who sued Pfizer and won. You have the bravery of David and like him, you know where your strength comes from. It is an absolute honor to walk in your shadows and help in any small way I can. I will be telling my grandchildren about you and Brook Jackson. The two incredible women, who refused to allow injustice to reign, and fought back for no personal gain. It is an honor and a privilege.
I have a lot of respect for you and your mission Kim. Unfortunately a lot of crappy drugs manage to find their way into our system with many bad things occurring. I had an awful experience about 15 years ago when I was prescribed the antibiotic Levaquin for a nasty case of bronchitis. Yes it it knocked out in a very short period but it also badly affected my nerves and felt like I was having a breakdown. Realizing there was no other thing that could have caused this nightmare, I immediately quit taking it but I felt the dis-ease for many months that followed. I always now look for natural means of prevention and therapy and I rarely get sick 🐸
I am focused on my son's future, so my story was more of a "one and done". That said, our shared living community was co-founded by Mary Holland who is President of Robert Kennedy's https://childrenshealthdefense.org
You are probably aware of their work, but I want to check for sure.
I'm so sorry that your husband went through that and you had to deal with his sudden loss. Nobody should ever have to deal with a loss that was brought on and caused by a drug that was considered "safe with minimal side effects and non-addictive." I was told that when starting Paxil years back and had the same head-outside-of-the-body experience, curling up in a fetal position, rocking back and forth on my dining room floor, saying, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" I felt like my head was literally on fire. My wife witnessed this as well.
I called the doctor, and he told me it was going to take about a month for my brain to get used to it. I was also not warned about stopping it cold turkey. It was minimized, and it was prescribed by my PCP.
Anything that passes the blood-brain barrier and alters neurotransmitters has the potential to change behavior, cause confusion, induce psychosis, and, as a result, cause great harm to the one taking it or to those around them. Some people are helped short-term but are not sufficiently informed about these very dangerous risks. They are downplayed and dismissed as insignificant. They are not told to try CBT or some other method before giving these medications. I asked my doctor for CBT as I didn't want to be on meds. But he didn't send a referral or anything after asking multiple times.
It's kind of like saying that someone can take an illegal mind-altering drug and it won't affect their behaviors or thinking. The very purpose of the medicine is to change synaptic communication. How can people say these adverse side effects are purely physiological? They were meant to change psychological mechanisms, based on an already debunked theory of chemical imbalance.
Vivid dreams are a common issue for those who experience adverse reactions to these drugs. In almost all of the experiences I've heard involving adverse events, vivid dreams and nightmares were mentioned along with other psychological changes. I had them, and it was like I was awake. I have never had them again since I’ve been off Paxil.
This all happened when I was starting and stopping Paxil. And I didn’t find out about all of this until now, almost 20 years later. I took it for anxiety but then went into a very deep sadness and intense crying spells and other symptoms when stopping suddenly because of the lack of help and oversight I got from my doctor.
I am so very concerned with the many SSRI addictions & the doctors still handing out prescriptions to our youth. Sharing your story I hope will lead to enlightenment & healing. Your advocacy is important.
I was prescribed this Shite back in early 2001s. I realised that I was totally off my rocker/equilibrium, especially if I drank minimun alcohol after dozing myself with this Shite. After 2 months of this Shite, I went cold turkey from this Shite; gathered my sanity realising my mind had been poisoned by the Drug Pharma Product. I not only hurt others, I hurt myself.
It was hard to realise that I had been poisoned via a local doctor, drug pusher who received money and holiday rewards from a Drug Pharma Product to push their Shite.

God gave us a brain to think for ourselves. Yes, it took me while to realise this. Never Again with Pharms Drug/Pusher Protocols.
There you have it, folks. People ion Western society believe that if A will kill them & their children, but politicians say they have to inject them with A anyway, that they simply must do so & that there is no legal way to stop getting themselves OR their children injected with A.
“Because Mommy-Government told us we have to.”
They actually think that there are laws in place that say anywhere in their constitution that their politicians can mandate anything let alone untested products, & should they do so, then the citizens have zero choice but to comply with these decisions: that there are zero legal avenues against such tyranny in Free & democratic nations. & that this is written into their constitution.
They actually think that there are legalities forcing them to comply with decisions made by politicians/that this tyranny is legal.
What utter cowards you all are that you’d rather risk the health & well-being of everyone you’ve ever cared about than stand up for them against what? One Constipated-looking Scowl of Discontent From Mitch Pelosi? Or Nancy McConnell?
Your own children mean less to you than the Imaginary Love & Acceptance of these Complete Strangers who will never even know you exist?
Then TAKE the damned jab already if social ostracism is too large a burden for you to emotionally accept.

Sadly they won't be held to account until they stand before Jesus.
Thank you for sharing your story; and for continuing to fight for those harmed by the pharmaceutical industry.

Kim,
I was pointed to your story by someone who read my son's story -https://outsidein51.substack.com/p/pro-vaccine-safety-in-2023-where/comments#comment-13849512

I called the doctor, and he told me it was going to take about a month for my brain to get used to it. I was also not warned about stopping it cold turkey. It was minimized, and it was prescribed by my PCP.
When I read this experience, first, I had chills up and down my spine. Then I got angry at the ones responsible for downplaying the potential serious side effects of these medications. It boggles my mind that, even though warnings are included on labels and Health Canada issued an advisory in 2004 ([source](https://www.canada.ca/en/news/archive/2004/06/health-canada-advises-canadians-stronger-warnings-ssris-other-newer-anti-depressants.html)), there are still those who deny the potential for such severe side effects.
