suicide prevention week

It’s suicide prevention week and I just wanted to say to anyone out there who needs to hear it - I know it’s difficult. I know you’re fighting with all you’ve got. I know the strength it takes to dig your heals in and tell yourself it’s going to be ok. And I’m telling you now that it will be ok. There’ll be a time when you’ll know what it is to laugh again. There’ll be a time where you’ll feel normal and that gnawing emptiness will subside. You don’t need pain in order to feel again. There are sunsets to be watched on the beach with your friends. There are seas to be swam in and forests to walk through. There is birdsong to be heard and trees to be hugged. There is a world out there waiting for you. There’ll be a time where this will be open to you again. Ride this wave and know that one day it will be ok.
