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
