I came across another informative blog on depression and suicide, from a woman who lost her father, who suffered from depression and eventually took his own life.

“Until you’ve stared down that level of depression, until you’ve lost your soul to a sea of emptiness and darkness… you don’t get to make those judgments. You might not understand it, and you are certainly entitled to your own feelings, but making those judgments and spreading that kind of negativity won’t help the next person. In fact, it will only hurt others.”
“Friendship isn’t about saving lost souls; friendship is about listening and being present.”
She reminds us to not be afraid to talk about suicide…use the word and share stories to help dispel the fear and shame often surrounding the topic…
Love you S.H. Hang in there…
