I recently had several people reach out after suffering a tragic loss and looking for resources. Personally I tried to find answers in many places, including the bottom of a bottle, both pill and liquid. Well...that only made things worse.

What I have found help in has been podcasts and books from Greg Laurie and Jimmy Evans. Both have excellent works on loss and how to find strength in Him.

I also have worked on myself physically and found routine exercise with the above helps to keep me moving forward.

Add in a wonderful wife, son, family and friends, along with a couple of furry buddies with four paws....and the sun still comes up every day.

I sincerely hope that helps.

It has been 5 years since my beautiful son Cole took his life. Cole's story changed so much for not just me, but so many that were touched by our video, posts and more.
On this day I hope every parent takes that extra minute to tell their children, regardless of age, that the love them. Give your kid a hug....ask them how they are and listen to what they say.
I live with regret that will never subside. My story and life will hopefully be an example of life's frailty, sudden and many times cruel nature.
There is much good in our world. With your help we raised enough money to start 3 Hope Squads in Walworth County. That gift led to programs in every school in the past few years. I hope it also changes a generation in how we parent, deal with mental health and value God's gifts to us here in this world.
Sadly, Cole was joined by his brother Callahan just over a year ago. I know they are both looking down from Heaven cheering us all on as we continue pushing forward. Until that point Faith, Prayer, Family and our Labrador Retrievers will continue to comfort me until my reunion with my boys.
May God bless you all today. Please give those kids a hug, text, call or all of the above today.

This is a tribute to my beautiful son Cole Fuller. We laid him to rest on 4-12-2019. 17 years is too short a life.Goodbye my sweet, beautiful boy. May you...

Jealousy is such a common emotion...

I suffer from it every day...

Facebook memories of my kids, watching friends post about their own children's accomplishments. It is a struggle for me

Cherish the time you have with your children. I know I do with my remaining, wonderful son.

As you look at social media and get those jealous feelings about what others have in possession...

Realize you are rich when you get those moments you get to spend with your kids. Do not live with regret for what was said in anger or not said due to complacency.

God is the answer to seeing my boys Callahan and Cole again....in time. I keep working on me, but at times feel the need to remind so many just how lucky they are.

And poor Clayton Fuller .... now he gets all of my attention whether he wants it or not.

Have a great week and hug your kids.

One of the most difficult years for me is coming to an end. I wanted to say thank you to all for the support and kind words after the loss of my second and youngest son Callahan. He was such a bright light in my life and poised for great things. He now is with his brother Cole in heaven and I impatiently wait for my time to join them.

Losing my son Cole was so hard, yet different from the loss of Cal. Cole struggled with mental health and addiction. After his loss I was driven to make a difference and with your help, three schools were funded through donations to start Hope Squads. This program helps kids to identify and then seek help for struggling peers. These three programs pioneered all of Walworth County Wisconsin adding Hope Squads to area schools. It is Cole's legacy that his loss helped others.

Callahan was much different in loss for me. He was healthy, happy and headed out in the world. To say it completely broke me would be an understatement. I will never fully recover after losing a second child. To get out of bed and start my day has been a challenge. I have struggled with purpose, as there is no good fight to leave a legacy to a senseless loss.

I have heard many times how strong I am as a person. This could not be farther from the truth. I am broken. But I was recently told by someone that my reaching for the Lord in my time of weakness shows my strength. If my loss of Callahan shows others that seeking/finding strength in God is a legacy....I guess there could be no greater comfort for me to know that this would be the legacy for his loss.

I have questioned my faith much after the loss of my kids. I have prayed and told the Lord how much pain I am in. I have questioned why it was not me in place of my boys. I cry daily because of my loss.

The only thing I can tell anyone is two things. There is a heaven and one day I will understand when I am reunited with my boys there.

Many have helped me arrive to where I am today. Kind words and gestures go farther than you can imagine. I also have my four legged, furry counselors that have helped immensely through their unconditional love.

Thank you for your support
Jeff Fuller

Thank to all that have reached out and comforted my family with kind words in the wake of losing my youngest boy Callahan. When we lost Cole nearly 4 years ago I channeled my grief and support into my healing. So many helped me work to better the mental health system and drive forward. During that time my business neared bankruptcy, but faith told me to keep pushing.
The loss of Callahan has been different. For a young person, last Friday was truly his best day. He had his goal to become a pilot and Thursday and the day he passed we had the plans finally in place. Sounds cliche I know.....I even got an email from the college we were getting him into this fall yesterday confirming that our plan was beyond solid, with their full support. He left for work on top of the world. He was beaming and walking on air as I thought about how great this was for him. I too was walking on that same rare air we get so few times in your life being so happy for him.
Soul crushing is not even the word losing a second boy. I am broken. With that said many of my close friends from life, my kids school and law enforcement have started reaching out for information for services. The truth is I just cannot do it this time. With Cole's passing we had between 700 to 1000 come through to pay their respects. Heartwarming to be sure....and I appreciated every conversation. It was also so incredibly hard and exhausted me emotionally for weeks. I just cannot go there this time. I do not have the strength. I hope everyone understands.
I still want to talk about my son and will post my thoughts about his life here in the coming days. Please feel free to share memories and thoughts on any of the posts we have put out. I do not respond to any comments, as I would feel obligated to respond to all of them which would not be possible right now. But I do read every one of them.
