Overcoming tragedy of suicide  I know how it feels to lose a person through suicide, it never the easiest experience. I’ve lost two brother's to suicide and it had a big impact on my life. No one knows what it truly feels to go through trauma at a young age of 9 when my youngest brother took his life in 1995, they didn't talk about suicide or even get kids therapy to get through their loss instead my mother didn’t know how to handle it or tell a child the truth. She didn't tell me until I was sixteen which made me struggle with depression. She regrets and now understands suicide.

Overcoming Depression: My story

Overcoming Depression My story  I suffered from depression for many years and it no joke either,  depression is a serious health issue we all face.  Both of my brother’s committed suicide because they didn’t know a way through it. They were unhappy with their lives.  But there is no excuse for committing suicide you end up hurting more people than you think. I remember my brother leaving a note when he  shot himself in the head with a gun and it was tragic. People still ask  me how did I hold up like I do now? Simple! You just face it with courage. I saw the light of the universe there is a way to happiness and peace,  each experience teaches us something important so we can grow from it.  In my case my brother’s deaths showed me that I can be a better person be strong for myself within loving my inner child daily. You too can love yourself if you let yourself do that,  you are apart of this universe God has something planned for u...
