This is the hardest story I’ve ever had to share. In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, I open up about the loss of my dear friend to suicide and the journey of pain, survival, and healing that followed.

My hope is that by sharing my truth, someone watching will know they’re not alone. If you’ve ever struggled with dark thoughts or felt the weight of grief, this message is for you.

We can’t take away the pain, but we can carry it together.

💜💛 Suicide prevention is not just about awareness—it’s about connection, compassion, and courage to speak when silence feels easier.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out:

📞 Call or text 988 (U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)

Your life matters. Your story matters. And there is hope.
