Tonight we revisit Suicide Awareness and the Holidays!
The holidays can be a beautiful time…but they can also be incredibly heavy.
While many celebrate with family, warmth, and connection, others are navigating:
Silent battles with depression
Grief that resurfaces with every memory
Financial stress
Family conflict
Loneliness, rejection, or feeling unseen
Trauma triggers tied to this season
✨ Suicide risk increases when pain meets silence.
And during the holidays, so many people feel pressured to “be happy,” even when they’re barely holding on.
Today, I want to remind you:
You don’t owe anyone holiday cheer. You don’t have to fake a smile. You deserve space for your feelings.
If you’re struggling:
💛 Reach out to someone you trust
💛 Practice grounding and self-soothing
💛 Limit triggering conversations or gatherings
💛 Honor your grief and rest without guilt
