Nearly 45,000 people in the United States and more than 800,000 worldwide die by suicide each year, but it's rare the hear someone talk about it openly and without shame. Simply talking about it can save a life. So why don't we talk about it more? 

In this episode, we talk about the harsh reality of what it is like to consider suicide as an option to ending pain and suffering and how to come out on the other side of it.

Please note, we are not medical professions. If you are seriously considering suicide, please seek medical care or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255
