"I feel it necessary
to write to you and thank you from the depths of my heart for
the kindness the entire Lovejoy staff showed me during my brief
stay. What was a difficult decision to make and even harder act
to follow through with was met with understanding and gentles
from all whom I came into contact with." - A Patient
"I sincerely want to thank you. I want
to tell you how beautiful you are, your presence, compassion,
spirit and your words. You brought comfort and sense of safety
to me at such a fearful time. For some reason I think I'll remember
your face and your warming spirit always" - Nancy

there and understanding how I'm feeling. You all really helped
me be strong at a weak stage in my life. Most importantly though,
thank you for just listening" - Laura
"Thank you so much for your warmth, patience,
concern, reassurance and gentle responsiveness - I forgot support
and I'm sure there's more that haven't surfaced yet."

"Even with the belief that I've made the
right decision for myself, I had a significant struggle with it.
Having supportive voices, a strong hand to hold, eye-contact while
being reassured that I did make the right decision and I didn't
do anything wrong made such a difference." -- D.Y.
