Amy Bleuel Obituary

I am so sorry you died Amy
Your legacy will live on and encourage those suffering to keep going. I lost my son Andrew to suicide in 2021 aged 30

Two daughters, a granddaughter and a mom/grandma would like to say thank you for all you did to bring awareness to this!!

I started to be concerned about mental health community just recently, due to the ongoing pressure I am going through and my own observation of my friends surrounding. You are the first and only one to inspire, encourage and bash the misbelief in me about tattoo. I feel my mission to care for those with mental illness, just like me and you. I sincerely bow to you at this moment until the end of my life, and I love you. I promise to keep fighting for my life, and for others' life, regardless. Thank you so much and I wish you the best second life.

I´m writing a story and the most important character in it is inspired by you and everything you went through and survived. I hope that you know wherever you are that I wrote him for you.

just read about you today and Im proud to of read about such an amazing person! I am going to continue your work with spreading awareness! i know my story isnt over but i know yours isnt either; -------- sincerly alicia reynen

Rest in power beautiful. Youre very inspiring. Love you.

Thankyou for raising awareness. Without the likes of the project and talking to people through it who are going through the same as me I'd not be here today, only wish I could have thanked you in person. R.I.P fly high with the angles x

Gracias Amy
Tu historia nunca terminará

RIP Sweet Angel

Amy,
The work you did for Project Semicolon has changed my life forever. You are the voice, the cover, the name, the face and everything that encompasses The Semicolon. I am forever grateful for you choosing my story to be in your book. It is such an honor and privilege share my story with others, in hopes to give them light and peace as they live their lives. I am deeply saddened by your passing and hope that you are in the comfort of those whom you missed and those you love. You are no longer in pain. Please look down on all of us and know that we are so proud of the person you are. You have encouraged and helped so many. You inspire, motivate, and keep me going whenever I look at my tattoo placed on my wrist. May light always surround you and love always be within your heart, Amy. Rest in Peace sweetheart.

Thank you for all the good this precious life has offered to us all. May her memory continue on in the semi colon project in the hearts of all who loved her.

Dear Amy and Amy's family and friends,
With thanksgiving for your life Amy. In your purpose you displayed such strength, compassion, love and courage. Thank you and may perpetual light shine upon you as you Rest In Peace. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Thank you for your good works.
Project Semicolon has helped so many others.
For you and your loved ones, I hope for Peace.

I am filled with sorrow to hear of you leaving this world so young. Your life has left a mark and legacy for so many. The deep impact on those who could not speak of their journey thru depression / suicide that your semi-colon project allowed speaks volumes. See you someday on the other side angel. Your light will continue to burn for all who seek healing as they journey in the hopes of wholeness.

So sad. Such a loss. The world has lost a loving & compassionate heart. Heartfelt condolences to Amy's family and friends.

So sorry. I wish I had met you. I too feel a lot of pain.

God Bless You! You're a daughter of greatness and the universe and will always be remembered for your good works and uniqueness. I'm sorry your struggle was so deeply difficult. You deserve peace happiness and eternal love. With sisterly love, Andrea.

gone too soon, see you in heaven angel.

Dear sweet Amy, We never met in person; but just like you- I have lived a life like you. I admired your heart, empathy, compassion, wisdom and strength. There is nothing fair about life. You should still be here with us today. We need more people like you. I'm so very sorry that you couldn't find anchor to help you with your deep sorrows and pain. I pray that there is a much better, more sweeter place for you now. RIP, Amy.

Living with the pain and suffering of depression and Mental Illness is often hidden and misunderstood by others and among ourselves who are challenged daily by it. May you Rest In Peace as you left us in this life for a new beginning. Words are inadequate to describe and tell the story of the struggles of Mental Illness. The"semi-colon" symbolizes that hope of a better tomorrow; a new path to follow when sadness seems to blur the way in front of us!

Rest in peace, my friend. Your legacy lives on and embraces my wrist in the form of a bracelet during my lows. Thank you for bringing the semicolon project to light.

Thank you. You touched so many lives around the world with your courage to shine a light on depression and suicide. My story continues;

Bless your beautiful soul, Amy.
May you kindly rest in peace.

God bless you , I just lost a beautiful friend from 6th grade from this we are 55 now !!! It's a long road !!!!

So sad to have just read of Amy's passing. What a gift she gave so many others who were and will struggle in the future. Her light will keep shining for others that will need it. Condolences to Amy's family and friends on their sad loss.

I've just read the sad news that for Amy, her story has finally ended. At the lowest point in my life, Amy's vision of #projectsicolon came along, and undoubtedly helped me greatly. I knew I wasn't alone, and in September 2015 I had my own semicolon tattoo inked on to my wrist.

Anyone who knows me would never imagine for a second that I'd have got a tattoo, but the moment I became aware of the project, I knew I had to get myself one.

It serves two purposes. Every day I see my semicolon, I'm reminded of how bad things got, and how far I have come since. It gives me great strength. Secondly, people see my tattoo and they ask me about it, which opens up the opportunity to talk about this taboo subject - mental health.

Thank you Amy for having the courage and vision to raise so much awareness for mental health. Without your work, which gave me so much hope and strength, my story may have ended some time ago. I'm so sad that for you, the fullstop came so tragically early.

With love to you, your family, friends and everyone in the wider #projectsemicolon family.

R.I.P. Amy Bleuel

May Amy's family be comforted.

Thank you Amy for your dedication, strength and work to help all who suffer from depression. You will be so sadly missed, but lovingly remembered.

I can't know what your pain must have been like to carry all your years, but the light and courage you brought into this world will live on forever. I can honestly say that I do understand your pain because I have traveled a road very much like yours. I will keep taking one step in front of another one in hopes that I make it another day. Thank you for sharing your light.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing your story, for your courage, for inspiring and for giving us hope. The world is a better place because you were in it. Thank you so much.

The brightest flames burn the quickest. You have left your mark.

Thank you for trying. Thank you for trying to not only help yourself, but people you didn't even know. It truly is the highest form of charity and you were a kind soul to try for so long. May you find peace now; and may your next life be much kinder to your spirit.

Rest in Peace, You made a impact on many lives.

You have created so much beauty in this world, and so much hope. You have helped me to live on, and encourage others to do so every day. You are so missed and so loved, and we will remember your legacy. Thank you so much for all you have done.

What a beautiful and sad story. Amy, you have left your mark;
RIP Amy

You may have lost a battle, but your inspiration and fortitude will win not battles, but wars - Rest In Peace, beautiful human being.

Your absence is the world's loss.

Project Semicolon is helping lots of people, including me. All I want to say is thank you.

Your Semicolon project saved me. Sometimes when I get on my lowest due to my major depression, I draw semicolon on my wrist because I know my story isn't over yet. IAnd I'm sure it's not only me. Rest in Peace, Rise in Power, Amy.

You are missed, and will live on forever. The more the broken, the closer to God;

Your story lives on through me. My story, isn't over yet ;;;;;; I'll see you on the other side.

I am so sorry that you didn't allow your story to continue. You were such a powerful and creative woman. We will miss you and your inspiration.

Amy, your Semicolon Project is impactful!
May you rest in peace knowing that you inspired many people around the world. My 20-year old daughter informed me of your tattoo's significance. I was instantly encouraged and blown away. Thank you for shining your light.

YOUR STORY WILL LIVE ON;

I never knew you, but your project hit home and my 78yr old grandmother has the semicolon tattoo for her daughter/my mother. You were an inspiration to the world. It will no longer be the same without you, but you will forever live on in our memories.

Project semi colon was symbolically important for me. I found the message true.

Thank you for bringing awareness to the illness that many battles. Amy, I pray the Lord wraps you in his warm embrace. You were brave during your darkest momments. Rest in Peace.

Thank you for all you've done. Thank you for the inspiration to keep fighting.

I live with Bipolar and struggle with the thinking of the possibility of suicide from time to time. Thank you for being so strong and speaking out on mental health issues.

Amy, I pray that you are in peace and surrounded by a rainbow warmth of light.

Thank you....

U fought Bravely Amy and left a path and torch to follow full of Hope...Rest In Peace!

Thank you for your legacy, Amy. I hope you are truly able to rest in peace, now.

God's mercy is endless. We hardly know how far it reaches. Just as Jesus Christ left this mortal life vulnerable and exposed, and resurrected to the Father, so have you. Thank you for your life and enjoy the life with your creator that was promised!

I am getting my tattoo very soon that will remind me of your brave fight. You are still a beacon of light to those who are trying to find their way. Your flame will shine forever.

God bless you . Rest now sweet girl

I pray that you are now at peace Amy, & May God bring comfort to your loved ones, family & friends! I wish you would've stayed!

I only just recently learned about Project Semicolon and it is such a beautiful gift to all struggling with mental illness and symbolizes the braveity to keep going despite the darkness so thank you Amy for your own bravness and the light you brought into the world.
RIP beautiful angel.

I saw the Semicolon project a couple years back when I was doing research on depression. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for many years and when I saw the website for this, I felt like someone finally understood. Amy, you were an inspiration to a lot of people, including complete strangers. I am saddened to hear the news of your passing, and please know you mattered to a lot of people, your life mattered. I will always think of you, and I will always remember how you touched my heart with your story. May you rest in peace and get to see your dad again. God bless.

Amy was an inspiration to me. I have been struggling since I was 5years old with depression among other mental issues. Now at the age of 48 years old I am just now realizing so much about my illness and Amy has help to bring me so much encouragement through her Project Semicolon. God bless you Amy Bleuel may you rest in peace in the arms of our merciful loving God forever.

Thank you for holding on for so long ; thank you.

Didn't know you very long, but enjoyed helping take care of your dental needs at the office I worked at (and you were a patient at). Just found out about your passing, and I am stunned! You mattered, and were so important! Look at all the guestbook entries, only Super Stars have that many!
Peace to you Amy, and Condolences to David and the rest of your family.

My Dear Lil Sis:
May you find the peace that you are searching for, as you travel through your new journey. I had so much to say to you and my heart is broken for your loss and for missing the chance to talk to you before you left this world. I will speak with you as I sit alone in silence, in hopes that you will hear me. You are loved, you are missed. I love you Amy.

I'm going to miss you terribly, Amy. Despite our differences, you were my sister and I loved you more than you knew. I truly hope that in your passing you've found the peace that you couldn't acquire through those that loved you here on Earth. I promise that your passing will not have been in vain. I will ensure that, like the legacy you created through Project Semicolon, you will be remembered not for your struggles but for the victories that you achieved because of them.

My heart is grieving at the loss of my daughter. Amy has touched the lives of many people and for that I am extremely grateful. I am hoping that for her I will be able to continue on with speaking to others in regards to Project Semicolon. She will be missed very much but she will never be forgotten. RIP my precious child! You are FREE now!

Thank you for all that you shared with us, Amy. I hope you have peace now.

Amy, I'm holding on, trying to get well so I can do something to continue your work. You inspire me to do better, to be better. I understand the pain, and I'm praying for all who love you and grieve your loss along with me. One day I will hug you and thank you in Heaven.

Looking at the night sky, yours will be the brightest star shining on the work. May you find the peace and meaning you gave to all of us.
