25 years 🤍 Today brings up so many memories and emotions for so many of us. If you are someone who has experienced a su***de loss and/or a su***de attempt, you may find that your feelings seem magnified. If possible please try to be gentle with yourself, allowing space to honor each.

On days like today it's even more important to take care of our most basic needs: eat, hydrate, shower, stretch our legs, sleep 🤍 You are worth taking care of. Thank you for being here 🤍

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🤍 A day that holds many different meanings for each of us. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one to su***de or you're worried about someone close to you (or maybe even experiencing your own thoughts of su***de) we want to honor the many emotions and experiences 🤍 You don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Our founder Shannon Donnick spoke with Forbes today to highlight ways to connect with friends and family after a su***de as well as where to turn for additional support: https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/world-su***de-prevention-day-lmandp5/

After a death by su***de we might want to reach out to those grieving but aren't sure what to say. What we've learned is that su***de loss survivors would welcome the opportunity to talk about their loved one and to say their loved one's name 🤍 Some potential conversation starters:

"Tell me about your loved one!" "Did they have any hobbies?" "What was their career?" "What's a memory you've been holding onto recently?" "When was the last time you laughed together?"

Reminding them that you care about them and letting them know that you want to be there for them can also be nice to hear 🤍 Most people will appreciate a genuine connection; you might even say "I'm not sure what to say but I'm thinking of you. What do you need right now?"

Thank you for supporting those grieving after su***de in your life 🤍

The phrase "commit su***de" is outdated language, referencing a time when being suicidal was against the law (and considered committing a crime). Instead, we suggest "died by su***de" or "killed themselves" or "took their own life." These may seem like minor changes but will go far in easing the pain of those in your life who are experiencing the aftermath of a su***de loss or su***de attempt 🤍

"The nature of this flower is to bloom
Rebellious. Living.
Against the elemental crush.
A song of color blooming
For deserving eyes.
Blooming gloriously
For itself."  - Alice Walker

Take care of yourself and consider where and when it is safe to share your story of su***de loss and/or su***de attempt with your community. Please reach out to us if you need support 🤍 We are so glad you are here 🤍

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🤍 A day that holds many different meanings for each of us. For some, it's a time of reflection and action; for others, especially those who have lost loved ones or those who have experienced their own su***de attempt, it can bring a range of emotions.

We want to take a moment to honor and hold space for all. Wherever you are and whatever feelings come up for you today, you don't have to navigate this journey alone. 🤍

Let's continue to support one another, with compassion, empathy, and understanding. Together, we are stronger. ✨
