I get it.... This is a tough weekend. Monday will be especially tough. First and foremost know that YOU MATTER. You matter to me. You matter to your friends. You matter to your family. The one thing I know for a fact is that you trying to end your pain, only passes it on. I don’t know what happens after death to the one that dies but I do know that you are missed by those that you leave behind.

Su***de can touch anyone, anywhere, and at any time. But it is not inevitable. There is hope.
