Suicide is serious. If you are a survivor of suicide, as I am, you know what I mean. And no, a survivor isnt someone who attempted suicide. Its someone who has had someone close to them suicide. I didnt know much about it until it happened to me. No one wants to talk about it cause of the stigma. And no one really understands why it happens. But it does. It happens every 17 minutes. It is a mental illness that should not be taken lightly. The suicide in my life almost destroyed me. I couldnt bare that this person I loved so much was on this planet one minute and then gone forever the next all by their own doing. The unanswered questions, the quilt, the pain I saw in my familys eyes were torture. Eventually, I learned how to live with it simply because there was no other option. And yes, I thought about ending my own life but knew it would just destroy my family and friends even more. Eventually, with the help of friends, family, and faith, I saw the light in my darkness. The funniest man on the planet decided to stop living this week because he was sick. He had a mental illness that affects countless people on a daily basis. If you have thoughts of ending your life, I urge you to get help. IT IS NOT THE ANSWER. It should not even be an option. Also, if you are a survivor or suicide, your life isnt over. Your joy should not end. Continue living life to its fullest by laughing, learning, and loving as much as you can. Its hard. I know. But I do it even when I dont feel like it. Trust me, its the best way to honor those who we miss so much. Much love to you all! I love you, Facebookies!! 💋
