Each day worldwide there are 3,000 suicides, and for every person who commits a suicide 20 or more people may attempt suicide (Information according to World Health Organization). Ages range anywhere between teen’s to the elderly and it impacts all races. This has devastating effects on loved ones whom are left behind to grieve and morn the loss of a child, sibling, spouse ext. In fact suicide is so common you probably know someone personally who has or has had a loved one take his or her life.
Suicide has been on the rise worldwide. It is time to make it a priority to talk about this issue. Reach out to those around you, you may not even know someone is having suicidal thoughts. Most often those dealing with these thoughts do not make it obvious and when they take their life it is very abrupt and unexpected. Reach out and love people you have no clue what someone else is going though any given day. Don’t just assume. Let people know their life has value no matter what they are going through. Say an encouraging word, let people know you care about them. Love those who are mean and those who look like they have their life all together. You have no idea what could be encouragement in someones life and make a difference. Be a voice, be love, reach out, make a change.
