Today, I attended a funeral for someone who died by suicide. The officiant said, “just a month ago, none of you would have guessed you would be here today.” He was right; no one in that room, from the deceased’s close family to his friends and acquaintances, knew anything was wrong.
Be kind to everyone; you never know what they’re going through. And if you’re hurting - talk to someone, anyone. Life is a gift that is far too valuable and beautiful to give up.
