James, It's coming up on Sarah's Birthday again and I am thinking of her and found a link to this video I shared 5 years ago on Facebook memories... I hope you are all doing well... Dealing with a loss is always tough... The loss of my Dad in 2008, the loss of My Son Greggy (Your cousin) in 2010, the loss of my marriage in 2012, the loss of your sister (my niece) in 2014, but in 2016 I met my current husband, & in 2018 we got married & this year I lost my Mom in May... Like I said Losses are Tough... My prayers are with you all... Life is always changing and we need to ride the waves of life and get through each and every day... Do our best at working out the issues and getting through each one without much damage... I know you will do well, continue to strive for the best!! Love, Aunt Chrissy...

James Armor......thank you for your story, I left the east coast of Florida in 2011 before this happened, I knew your sister Sarah as she was part of our circle of friends, she was a sweet girl and hid her issues from others very well......she must have been such a strong person to do this. We laughed and joked around a lot and that's how I remember her. I did not keep in touch with the people I left on the east coast very well as I was beginning a new chapter in my life but I am sure she would be happy for me because she knew what I was looking for and ive found it. We were also friends on Deviant art as we were both art enthusiasts. I'm so sorry for yours and you familes loss and I am sure she enriched your lives while she was amongst us.

Hello James, I stumbled upon this after researching my own nickname/online handle. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss and I hope you and your family are well a year on. I never had the chance to speak to her myself but i can tell that she was well loved and had a good life. May you and everyone here find your peace. I apologise if my name offends anyone here or brings back unwanted memories.

James and Family...I am so sorry about the loss of such a dear family member! People do not realize the impact that one word, just one word alone can have on an individual. As a society we speak without thinking, we act without thinking and we KNOWINGLY hurt people day to day. Sometimes words are more sharp than the blade of a knife could EVER be. Sometimes words bury us in a hole that we feel we cannot get out of and dont want to bother anyone to help us out of that hole. I cannot put into words how sorry I am for you and your family! You are such a strong friend, brother and son!! Tell your Mom and Dad everyday how much you love them and how much Sarah LOVES them!!! There is no one to blame, no one to be mad at except for those "bullies" that have to stab at people with their harsh words because they in turn are unhappy in life...My family and I will say prayers of strength for you and your family during this trying time!!! We send so much love and support and are here with a listening ear! God Bless you, your family and Sarah!!! XOXOXO

To the Armor family, I saw this on fb today, almost did not watch as I had a feeling what it would be, but was compelled. I applaud you for recording this and reaching out for support My husband killed our four year old daughter before taking his life on May 8th. He was not diagnosed with bipolar until January, but struggled with it his whole life. I truly understand the pain you are going through right now. I love that you are remembering her lovely spirit and beautiful soul. You are so right, people with bipolar disorder are often so brilliant and often become masters at hiding their pain. My heart goes out to you all and I will hold you all in my prayers through your grieving process. Continue to reach out, there are so many people who want to help and support. Remember the beautiful person she was... Sending lots of light your way, Stephanie Willard

James, kudos to you .. you certainly do have amazing parents, I don't know them, but from your story to your outlook on life, they obviously filled you with love and deep caring for yourself and others ... As a mother of 3, 2 of which also have Bipolar Disorder, my heart breaks for ALL of you in the loss of your sister. You are doing an amazing thing with this video, by sharing your sister's story and opening up to share your family's story, you are impacting others and even if one person treats someone better, or gets one more day with a loved one, or convinces someone to hold out until the sun shines on them again then you have certainly done an amazing thing by sharing with the world and keeping your sister's spirit alive! God bless you and your family, sending prayers to you all.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I met Sarah only briefly, keeping up with her online from time to time, yet it was impossible not to see right away what a beautiful and loving soul she was. A very bright star has disappeared from our sky. I only wish she could have known, have felt, about herself the way everyone else who met her did. Mental illness is cruel like that, casting a shadow so that the person can not see or feel their own light or anyone else's. I hope for you and your family that you are able to find peace again, and that through her story she is able to continue helping others. My love and prayers go out to you.

God has given you a beautiful message to share with the world through your family's tragedy. I pray God will heal the broken hearts and give his mercy and grace to your parents. They're truly blessed to have your sister as long as they did and to have you still here to love them and give you love back. Losing a child is the biggest heartbreak a parent can have. I lost my son on 4/10/13 at the age of 37. It still feel like it was yesterday. It's hard to move forward but I have a wonderful husband,3 living children and 3 grandchildren that keep me getting up each morning but it is by no means easy. God be with you and your parents always.

To the Armor family. Today, I write to you on behalf of WolfPack - a 200+ member network of friends who play computer games together from across the planet - which Sarah was a part of. My community members and I wish to offer our deepest and sincerest condolences. Our sympathies for your entire family during this time run deeper than you could ever imagine, the loss of Sarah has struck a number of members in our online community with extreme sadness - but I am sure it is nothing compared to that which you are currently feeling. For those in WolfPack who knew Sarah, we all wish we could be there at her funeral, sadly, as the majority of us reside in Oceania, it’s not feasible. That said, if ‘being there in thought’ counts for anything, then rest assured, those among us that knew her, will be present. On a personal note, I would like to thank to Mrs Inge W for taking my call at such a late hour, as well as Mr James Armor for producing his KZitem video and allowing us into your lives. For Mr & Mrs Mark and Patricia Armor, there are no words I can offer that will bring you comfort during this time, with that said, if I could, I would take your hands in mine, and reassure you beyond any doubt, that if there was ever a woman worthy of receiving God’s love and warm embrace, it was certainly Sarah. The whole family will be included in our prayers. For those of the Armor family that wish to know more about our community, of which Sarah was a well-loved part, please feel free to write, email or voice communicate with us at any time. Sincerely HC and WolfPack community. WolfPack www.WolfPack.net.au/

To Mr & Mrs Armor. Ive been sitting here for 20 minutes now trying to think of something to write to you. As i run through my mind it goes blank and i end up sitting here for another 10 minutes just looking into the nothingness of a white pixelated monitor. I feel i need to encourage MR & MRS Armor and let them know the future is always ahead of us.I can tell you now there is no pain in the world then the pain you feel right now,the pain of losing your child,the pain of the loss and the memories of that child goes through your mind every day and you wonder to yourself when will your heart and soul stop grieving.That pain is the pain that i went through myself in 2007 when me and my wife lost a son.As the father i thought i had faild my duty to keep my children safe,as a father i thought i had faild my son because i was supposed to guide him through his life and i did not.For a very long time i tore myself up,Id argue with my wife constantly,It was hard for me to return to work without thinking of him.Crying at night while i was at work.It was hard for me to continue.The only thing that kept me and my wife going was ourselves.Sure we had family around to comfort us but that was never enough.On the outside we looked fine but on the inside there was a never ending empty space.One day Mr & Mrs Armor that space will be filled with joy and memories of the future,I must be honest with you,you never stop grieving,all that happens is that your heart and soul will be at ease and you can only achieve that with the company and love of both yourselves and james.Id like to leave with this poem from Eleanor Cooper You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that shell come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all shes left, Your heart can be empty because you cant see her, Or you can be full of the love you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday, You can remember her and only that shes gone, Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what shed want:Smile,Open your eyes,Love and go on. You will be Sorely missed Mousey.I hope to fly with you again in the afterlife. WolfPack War Thunder Division Commanding Officer I2ichie All my prayers and Love to the Armor Family

I have thought that 'if someone is in the heart, and the mind of others they are never truly gone'. To you and your parents, it is more than ok to cry, to scream, to hurt, to feel pain, to feel nothing. It is also more than ok to smile, to laugh, and to live the way you wish to. If you need someone to say the words 'I give you permission to...' then please take my words, and if you do not, please disregard it. Try to come closer with your parents (like a tripod -one leg supporting the others, and together being supportive and strong). It is very easy to separate and to believe that if you talk or mention her, her name, or anything about her will cause more pain to others.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Many blessings and prayers to you and your family. She sounds like she was a wonderful woman and the world lost a beautiful light. By posting this video, you keep some of her light shining and I thank you for taking the time and posting it. To everyone out there who battles their own demons on a daily basis, know that there is help out there. You simply have to reach for it. For what it is worth, if anyone needs someone to talk to, I am willing to listen. I won't promise anything other than being here to listen to you. I am not a counselor or anything like that. I am just a woman who managed to survive her own demons.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss. As someone who suffers from mental illness, I know how very hard it is to ask for help when you think there is no hope or help out there for you; when you feel like you're not worth the air you breathe and that the lives of those you love would be better if you weren't there to be such a burden. It's so, so hard to believe that things will get better when you are in that place. I'm so very sorry that Sarah found herself in that place more than once. I can only imagine what you are going through but please please don't take the burden on yourself ("we didn't get there in time"). It sounds like you have all done everything that you could do over the years to support her. And what you are doing now, sharing her story, helping your family heal from this horrible tragedy, is one of the best things you can do to honor her memory. If people just remembered that those with mental illness can't help their struggles, any more than a diabetic can help themselves produce insulin. Support, coping mechanisms, medication and therapy can be great helps, but sometimes the most powerful thing is just being reminded that there are people who love you and would be devastated if you were gone. I have had many, many dark days over the past two years where this could easily have been my family. I don't know why I made it through and Sarah didn't, but I will keep her story in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thank you for sharing your family's story. May you find peace with what has happened and continue to be the amazing people that you are.

I came across your sister's tragic story on another website, and I just felt I needed to say how sorry I am to hear her story. I saw some of her art, and some of her jewellery, and the world is definitely a sadder place. I think this story is going to help me a lot... I bottle up... I do it so I don't hurt others around me, so I don't drag them down, as you put it so well. I'll be getting help not to do that, so I don't wind up hurting those more than I could ever imagine. I am so, so sorry.
