Yesterday was four years since my mom passed away so over on the blog I'm talking about what it means to "sit with your feelings" or uncomfortable emotions.

When you sit with your feelings it means you allow them to exist.

I'm not running from them or ignoring them. I'm making space to feel them and telling them "You belong here today." Because those feelings *do* belong here. It's okay to have sad days and to feel things that are uncomfortable or that we wish we didn't have to feel.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day and it was created to provide education and resources about preventing su***de.

A few years ago, myself and the people in my Facebook Group, created this list on how to help a friend who is feeling suicidal.

We hear all the time - "Check in on your friends with depression." Great idea, right? But how do we navigate conversations when your friends or loved ones ARE feeling suicidal? What then?

Over on my blog I made a list of ways we can help our friends who are struggling with suicidal thoughts or ideation.

I also want to normalize the fact that almost everyone will has or has suicidal thoughts in their lifetimes. It is okay to reach out for help if you need it. You are not alone.
