Heather Wyatt wants her 13-year-old daughter Aubreigh Wyatt's death by suicide to mean something. She wants the bullying, in and out of school, online and in person, to stop. She wants to help children and parents dealing with bullies.
A teacher as well as a mom, she wants students to thrive and to get help if they fall into despair. Aubreigh had seen therapists in the past and was on a wait list for therapy when her mother found her dead in her room on Labor Day morning, Sept. 4.
Wyatt attributes Aubreigh's death to bullying she endured from 5th to 8th grade. The Ocean Springs Middle School student was popular, smart, kind and beautiful, with a close group of friends. But a small number of students, mostly girls but not always the same ones, targeted her, bullying her at school, after hours and on social media.
Wyatt has taken to TikTok to spread a personal message about how Aubreigh's suicide has devastated her and her two surviving children, 6-year-old Ryker and 15-year-old Taylor. Her daughter and son even choose to participate in some of the videos. She now has more than 172,000 followers.
Heather and her daughter talked about the bullying. Aubreigh's strong faith in God helped her cope. There also were periods when she was not bullied, but then the taunts would start up again. Her mom assured her, "This gets better."
Heather Wyatt did not want to share details about the bullying. She has an attorney, Trevor Rockstadt of Gulfport, who is investigating what happened. Rockstadt sat in on her interview with the Sun Herald to make sure the conversation didn't veer into details of the lawsuit he's preparing over Aubreigh's death.
Responding to a question on TikTok, Wyatt said she saw no signs that Aubreigh was suicidal. In fact, Aubreigh said the night before she died that she wanted a vanity for Christmas and put two in her mom's online Amazon shopping cart, where Heather Wyatt found them after her daughter was gone.
Labor Day morning was a typical one โ except that Aubreigh had not cranked down the air conditioning during the night as she usually did. Her mother got hot while working out and went to turn down the thermostat. She decided to check on Aubreigh in her room.
After opening the door, she screamed. It wasn't a scream older daughter Taylor had heard before. She came running. They told Ryker to stay out. Heather Wyatt tried, fruitlessly to revive her daughter, who had died hours earlier.
Aubreigh was a "mama bear" to her brother and best friend to Taylor, only 21 months older. Wyatt and her children immediately started therepy
Heather Wyatt also took medical leave from her job as a third grade teacher at Oak Park Elementary in Ocean Springs, a job she loved. The family has gotten through their first Christmas and the six-month mark of Aubreigh's death.
Grief comes in waves. A song, a picture, the things that remind Wyatt and her children of Aubreigh trigger unexpected tears.
2024 March 17 Sunday will be tough. It would have been Aubreigh's 14th birthday. She loved her birthday parties, the bigger the better. She didn't want anyone to be left out.
Heather Wyatt planned a party for 50 at the beach for Aubreigh's 13tg birthday, in March 17, 2023. then found herself in a last minute scramble to pick up more pizza, chips and drinks. More than 200 people attended.
Sunday's March 17th, 2024 celebration of Aubreigh's life will also be at the beach. There will be cupcakes, balloons and some of Aubreigh's favorite songs.
On Sundays after church, the family visits Aubreigh's grave, which they decorate for each season. Heather has a heartbreaking TikTok video that shows Ryker taking Aubreigh a Valentine's Day bouquet while she was at her desk in her room, followed by a second clip of him putting a bouquet on her grave this year.
โRest in peace, my beautiful," Wyatt wrote with one video. "You deserved the world but the world did not deserve you."
I had so many thoughts about doing it, and Heather sharing Aubreighโs story online saved my life. Tysm Heather Wyatt! Aubreighโs legacy is forever in my heart ๐ค
