Did September sneak up on you?
Unfortunately it did not for me. I have felt it coming since the nights started getting a little shorter. I find this month very hard. This is the month I lost my son Nolan to suicide 8 years ago.
In past Septembers I used to post a daily thought about suicide awareness month. This month I just can’t do it.
It is exhausting.
Not many will see my daily posts unless I give FB $$ for my daily message. I don’t want to compete with political posts/reels/etc. either.
The anger, hate and division is sometimes overwhelming for me. So I won’t be doing a daily reminder about suicide awareness.
You might see me now and again with a message-and if you see it- I ask for you to think about the subject and how we can be more kind and human to each other.
Because there is a lot of pain in the world. A hug, a smile, eye contact, an “I love you” – with those little things we are survivors showing each other LOVE.
