🕊️ Su***de Loss Awareness Day
There are certain losses that change you at your core. Losing someone to su***de is one of them.
It’s the kind of grief that hits you in places you didn’t even know existed. It’s the guilt, the what-ifs, the shock, the love, the anger, the memories… all tangled up together, showing up years later when you least expect it.
People who haven’t lived it don’t always understand how deep it goes. How it shapes the way you show up in the world. How you grow up a little too quickly.
How you learn to carry things in silence because you don’t want to burden anyone.
But if you’ve lived this kind of loss, even once, you’ll know exactly what I mean. You don’t ever “get over” it. You just find ways to keep living with it, to honour your person, to rebuild yourself piece by piece.
Today isn’t about being strong or positive.
It’s about recognising the people who carry this grief quietly, every single day. You are seen. You are not on your own. And your pain is valid, no matter how long it has been.
If su***de loss has touched your life in any way,
leave a 🕊️ below, not for engagement, but so we know who’s standing here with us.
And if today feels heavy, please be gentle with yourself. Some days are harder than others and that’s okay.
Sending you so much love and light today 🫶🏽🙏🏽
