Save a life

Over the weekend, I heard the sad news of several people who had ended their own lives.  I have written about this before, but is so very important that I wanted to say something again today.  Suicide is preventable.  There is no guarantee that we will save everyone, but we have to at least try.  Please make note of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:  1-800-273-8255.

All lives are precious, and nobody should feel that things are hopeless or that they are all alone.  If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741-741.  Call that same number if you are concerned about a friend or anyone in your life.  They can help.  The CDC also has an excellent website available at https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/

Make a difference.  Save a life.  If you need help or know someone who does, call.  Remember you don't have to be alone and someone is always listening.
