After the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother, Paul Edward Bilbo, to suicide at the age of 23 in March 2023, we have come together with one mission in mind: We are committed to suicide prevention through destigmatizing conversations about suicide and suicidal thoughts. We strive to create a safe and compassionate space for individuals who are struggling and their loved ones. Together, we envision a world where open dialogue and understanding can save lives and offer hope to those in crisis.

Pebbles of Strength is a 501(c)(3) organization.

While no one wants to watch a funeral, we have been told over and over again that Paul’s funeral hits on some very important points when it comes to mental health, suicide prevention, and supporting those we love. If you’d like to learn more, you can watch the Service for Paul on Youtube.
