Your smile is important, you have the opportunity to change the world with your smile. always remember your purpose.
psalms 23: as you walk through the valley fear no evil.
The sun always rises so the darkness cannot last.
There is ALWAYS hope.
There is ALWAYS survival.
There is ALWAYS living.
There is ALWAYS thriving.
Behind the storm clouds, the sun still shines. And sometimes, we have the power, even for just a moment, to be someones light before their clouds have cleared. The sun is always shining behind the storm clouds, and it will always be there after the storm has passed. And for those who trudge through this day in pain, with constant reminders of the irreplaceable souls you've lost: I see you, I hear you, I am with you. Please be kind to yourself. To recognize that we often fixate on the moment that we weren't there, but do not discredit the tens, hundred, or thousands of moments that you were here. The moment you talked, listened and acted.
You are a gift.
Know the Signs: Pain isn’t always obvious, but most suicidal people show some signs that they are thinking about suicide. The signs may appear in conversations, through their actions, or in social media posts. If you observe one or more warning signs of suicide, especially if the behavior is new, increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change, step in or speak up. Visit the Know the Signs section of www.suicideispreventable.org to learn the warning signs of suicide. Trust your instinct.
Find the Words: “Are you thinking of ending your life?” Few phrases are as difficult to say to a friend or loved one. But when it comes to suicide prevention, none are more important. Visit the “Find the Words” section of www.suicideispreventable.org for suggestions to get the conversation started. Having the conversation is less about persuading someone not to end their life, and about showing that you are concerned, helping the person to find hope and remember their reasons for living.
Reach Out: You are not alone in helping someone in crisis. There are many resources available to assess, treat, and intervene. Crisis lines, counselors, intervention programs and more are available to you as well as to the person experiencing the emotional crisis. Visit the “Reach Out” section of www.suicideispreventable.org to find a list of resources in your county, as well as state and national resources, to help you connect and prepare.
