this may not be a very typical page for a blog, but i’m not really a typical blogger. many of my writings and kindness projects are the direct result of having lost several family members to suicide.

i created this “getting support” page on my blog because i still believe suicide prevention is possible.

if you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact the national suicide prevention lifeline or the afsp.
