Take some rest

Mental rest from the world
Social rest from people
Spiritual rest & connect
Sensory rest from social media
Emotional rest from keeping strong
What to say to suicide loss survivors:
💙 “I don’t know what to say, but I’m here for you.”
💙 “I miss them, too.”
💙 “Whatever you’re feeling right now is okay.”
💙 “I’m going to the store. What can I pick up for you?”
💙 “I have no idea what to say, but I know how to listen.”
Loss is a journey, and finding someone who is willing to walk it with you can make all the difference. There is a sense of strength that comes from the unified understanding of those who known the weight of suicide loss. Find that person on #SurvivorDay: https://t.co/h1ZBUiFFsi
