Today would have been my niece's 48th birthday, had she not killed herself when she was 35 years old. 5 years before her stepfather had killed himself in the same manner. These two deaths led to a chain of suicides and death that destroyed an entire branch of my family tree.
Suicide is not a joke. It is not something to throw around her cred.
If you live through it, you will never be the same. If you do it you will destroy every single person around you that you ever loved.
If you are having these thoughts please reach out for help. Home 988, talk to a friend, talk to someone online, you can even text to 988 if you don't want to talk.
This is my tribute to the love of my life, The Shining Light That extinguished herself in September 2011. I have walked it out so much that I can't even tell you the exact date and for quite a while I could not have told you the year I actually had to end up looking it up through her obituary.
