Let Yourself Be Human (Hope and Healing)

Today, let us pause and remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge those who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families, and communities who have been impacted by suicide. I asked my good friend, who has been personally impacted by suicide, to write this meditation as a gentle offering of support. If you or someone you know could use them, please listen and share. This will guide you to let yourself be human and settle into your own presence. If you feel you need someone to talk with right now, you are not alone. In the U.S., you can call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. If you're elsewhere, please look online for a local crisis number or text HOME to 741741, the Crisis Text Line.
