Firstly, I’m deeply sorry for your recent losses and grateful for your heartfelt sharing here.

This is so important to keep talking about so I’m grateful that you’ve made this post.

I’ve lost too many close, dear people I’ve loved to suicide.
The finality of it allows no further solution to arise and there are ALWAYS things worth living for and no body can predict what incredible things they would go on to do. My older brother couldn’t be have known that he would become such a generous, happy amazing man, when he attempted suicide.
When you’re in those moments of darkness it’s hard to see that it is just a wave of life. Like waves, which come and go, the good the bad, the ups and downs, these waves don’t last.
The good doesn’t last. The bad doesn’t last.
That’s why I’ve been on a mission to save lives for many years through my music and through connecting with people and now I’ve started the @preventsuicide page (which is still nascent) and the Prevent suicide discord server https://discord.gg/kWXHSBp
to reach out to our awesome fellow steemians who may need to connect with others who’ve been survived that darkness or experience it often.
In fact, our team of kind souls is growing and we could use the help of more volunteers there if anybody is feeling to join us.
Blessings to you for opening up here. There’s lots of great advice in this post.

I would add that if anyone is feeling at the end of their rope to please contact your local suicide prevention hotline.
The people on the other end of the line are discrete, compassionate and can help you.
Don’t be embarrassed or afraid to reach out to them.
