Many of us have been touched by suicide and the loss of a loved one, family member or friend.

It’s estimated that nearly 15% of the adult population will experience depression at one point or another throughout life.
And, accordingly to the World Health Organization, that means there are currently over 300 million people in the world currently living with depression

There are a lot of factors alongside and including depression and mental health issues that influence a person’s decision to go through with suicide: chronic ill health, guilt, trauma, substance abuse or loss, for example.
The tragic thing is that most of those who consider suicide don’t really want to die...These people just don’t know how to deal with the pain they’re experiencing.
If you’ve ever been suicidal or know somebody that has, you’ll know that without help, escaping that feeling of wanting to end it all is difficult.
If you’re having difficulty opening up to others about your problems, sometimes inspirational words or advice can offer some psychological comfort and help to get you through the day.
Yes, inspirational words can’t take the pain away, but they may allow someone the chance to shift their perspective just enough to give them a little bit of hope and strength.

The person who completes suicide, dies once. Those left behind die a thousand deaths, trying to relive those terrible moments and understand…why?
You have the power to say, “This is not how my story will end.”

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long.
As tough it sounds, suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it just eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not thinking, not wondering, not imagining, not obsessing and just breathing. Have faith that everything will work out for the best.
