TRIGGER WARNING: MENTAL HEALTH / SUICIDE
On May 22, 2020, my father lost his battle to mental health. It’s difficult to describe the type of grief you experience after mental health tragedies – a combination of rage, agony, laughter, guilt, sadness, anger, and back again.
If you’re suffering from mental health issues, please know that there are so many people who genuinely want to talk to you, no matter how uncomfortable that makes you feel. Every single person struggles with some form of mental health and we are all in this together – reminding each other every day that we’re in the same ocean and we’re not going to let you drown.
