Like I mentioned in a previous post, it’s not easy talking about suicide – especially if you are directly involved on either end of that very sharp stick. I have been on both and a lot of splinters in between. I said it was time to talk about suicide and all of its branches that lead us there and why. And it’s true, but I can’t expect anyone else to be prepared to talk or reach out, even to me, if I don’t do it first. I can’t expect anyone to do something I’m not prepared to do myself. So I’ve put myself out there, so what? I will continue to do so until things change about how we help others and ourselves. Until we find out what more we can do to help each other to understand, identify and prevent so much pain and misunderstanding, we must keep facing the fire and get to know it very well, very very well. Just like we delve into everything else we want to find out about, understand and manage. Why the dark shroud around suicide? It’s time to talk.

So true. Both my husband and I have friends who just did it, it’s pretty rattling when it happens 😦

It’s a very final choice and leaves those behind very confused, abandoned and less than. Sometimes the soul wants to get home…via any method possible. Try to take comfort in the fact that they are not in a neverending invisible agony anymore. I’m so sorry you have lost them, it’s tough 🌻😔💝

Yes we often comfort ourselves that way too.

Yes, we need comforting when our elderly loved ones pass naturally, there is just so little comfort for those left behind when it’s suicide. 😔🌻✌

Trust that all they want us as people to do, is to keep silence so that we can hear their lies. Speak up and be loud so that sooner than later, all we will hear is what truly matters.
