I have some rather unfortunate news.
On Tuesday, March 24th, I lost someone. A friend of mine, and many others, who was sweet, caring, talented, and beautiful, took her own life. Despite her family’s best efforts to save her, she unfortunately passed away in her sleep. For all I know she left us peacefully. I hope to god she’s in peace now.
It’s times like these in which we need to remind ourselves of those who love us and those who we care for. That the threat of losing someone who is suffering, and fighting their demons is very real, and that the souls who are suffering are much more fragile than you might think. I was reminded of this sobering message when I was informed of my friend’s passing.
Life can be cruel. But life is also so beautiful. As is everyone who is blessing ours with their presence and love.
It doesn’t take long, to remind those who are struggling that you love them. Even if you can only send a message to that one person who is in so much pain. Remind them that they’re not alone. Give them your love and support, even if they feel they don’t deserve it. Because they do. More than they may think.
Please never forget that you’re loved. And every one of you are special and important in this world. Whatever struggles life may be giving you now will dissipate in time. The pain will lessen little by little each day with the help of others. And with the love and support of those who care for you, it will help make the pain that much weaker, however fast, or slow it may be.
I’m so sorry I can’t quite know what everyone might be going through. Be it mourning or their own personal suffering. All I can say is that You’re all loved, and there are more people in this world who will understand you and care for you than you might think. I know it can be so tiring, and so frightening. And I’m so sorry you’re going through whatever pain you’re in. But please. For yourself, and those who would be heartbroken if they lost you. Don’t give up.
We love you so much.
