Do you feel like experiences in your past are holding you back? In my most recent Suicide Loss to Light podcast, we talk about the impact our past has on our lives. 

Often we believe we will never get over what has happened to us and become victims to our past. In episode #35 we discuss ways to alleviate some of our suffering and see the benefit that comes from living in the present and thinking about what we want our future to look like.

In this episode I share three experiences when I've had those I'm close to tell me they are contemplating suicide.  I tell you what they share they felt was helpful and what wasn't during that difficult time. 

There are 10 common denominators I've found that often bring despair.  By pondering on these major challenges maybe we can help find better solutions to these problems.  

I have to believe there is always hope.

Do you feel like people are not there for you and don't understand how hard this is for you?

In this podcast episode I talk about how expectations can hurt relationships and what we can do to find connection instead.

We can and we will.  Many days will be hard especially holidays and special events but I hope as I share personal experiences you find hope.
