Introduction
Thank you so much for your purchase and support. I know this book is showing up soon after When Life is Lifng
, but I needed to dive into this subject. Suicide is a significant issue. I know some people do not understand what goes on in the mind of a person battling depression, anxiety, family, work, and the world. Most people are the brightest lights but feel like the dimmest bulbs. Suicide rates are high among Veterans and teens. A lot of people feel worthless as if no one cares. You may say that you care, but unless you show it, some are not going to believe you.
What you are about to read a lot of things I have not talked about but in therapy. I know some of you may have never dealt with suicidal ideation. I need you to be able to place yourself in this person’s place and empathize with their pain. For some people, this is their daily reality and battle. I need people to try to understand the daily fight to live for those who have attempted or considered suicide. If you feel like you do not want to be here anymore, please do not take for granted the ones who love and care about you. They want you here. There is someone who desperately needs you in his or her life, Your life matters. I promise you it does. You are loved. If you feel no one else loves you, I LOVE YOU!!

You do not know who to turn to or what to do.
I will start at the beginning. I was a normal kid. I grew up in a two-parent home. I
