Today is Suicide Awareness Day 💚

There’s a quote that’s been sitting heavy with me today:
“I’d rather sit with you through your hell than attend your funeral.”

As someone who has been in that dark place more than once, and who has survived attempts that I didn’t think I’d come back from—I want you to know that I see you, I understand that pain, and I know how unbearable it can feel.

It may not always get easier, but you truly don’t know what tomorrow might bring if you don’t give yourself the chance to see it. Even one more day can open the door to something you couldn’t imagine in your darkest moments.

If you’re struggling today, please remember you’re not alone—even when your mind tells you that you are. Reach out. Sit in the mess with someone who cares. I promise there are people (including me, in this space) who would rather hear your pain than hear your goodbye.

Here are some resources if you need them:

Please keep holding on, even if it’s just for today. And if today feels too heavy, lean on us. You don’t have to carry it alone.

💚 With love, care, and understanding,
