This message is to bring light to the deception of suicide. Knowing someone whose death was ruled as a suicide, I was prompted to share this special message. It's also for those who may have found themselves in the dark space of suicidal attempts, thoughts (ideation) or have known someone who struggled with giving up on life. There are many lies that so many have been victimized by that attempt to steal, kill and destroy their very lives through suicide.  In this episode, I share the story of my feelings after experiencing the loss of someone due to suicide along with the poem, "LIT" I was inspired to write from that experience. I pray listeners will be ignited to "Live Through It," whatever the "it" is that may have them feeling hopeless or empty in the darkness. There is hope. You are not alone. YOU CAN, YOU WILL... "Live Through It" and see and have life in a brighter way. Scripture reference: John 10:10 (King James Version). Outro Song: "Live Through It" by James Fortune & Fiya.
