This is National Suicide Prevention Week. Obviously, it hits close to home for me. We can reduce the number of suicides when we remove the stigma and start talking about it - when we create communities and churches where people feel wanted, accepted and valued - where they dont have to hide depression and suicidal thoughts. If youve ever struggled with major depression and suicidal thoughts, Id love to hear what got you through the darkest days - what is it that keeps you tethered to life? How can the rest of us come alongside and make the pain bearable? For anyone barely hanging on today, know that my heart is with you - and youre not alone.....call someone!! If you dont have anyone close that you feel like you can share with, at the very least call (800) 273-TALK. You are loved....and your life matters.
