World Suicide Prevention Day - A Message of Goodbye

TRIGGER WARNING:

This past April, I took an attempt on my life. Before taking the attempt, I pre-recorded a podcast episode to say goodbye. I was clearly unsuccessful with my attempt, so was able to stop the episode from going live. But for some reason it remained in my drafts. 

Today, when I sat down to record an episode for #worldsuicideprevention day, I opened up my podcast software and that draft episode was the first thing to greet me. I was going to listen to it, but then realized that it was probably better I didn't. So I'm posting it today, having no recollection of what the episode contains. That said, I thought that because of its rawness, it may be an educational tool to share with my listeners. If it helps even just ONE person understand their loved one who is suffering, just a little bit better, then it's worth it.

Remember, kindness always wins!
