Please can we talk about suicide?
Instead of "committing suicide," we should use terms that are neutral, accurate, and free from judgment:
"Died by suicide"
"Took their own life"
"Lost their life to suicide"
These phrases acknowledge the tragedy without implying wrongdoing. They allow us to discuss suicide in a way that respects both the person who has died and their loved ones who are mourning
January was a tough year, but we made it!
January often brings with it pressure—new year resolutions, fresh goals, and the expectation of a complete life overhaul. But by the time we reach the end of the month, reality sets in. Maybe you haven’t stuck to that strict gym routine, maybe your goals feel further away than they did on January 1st, and that’s okay. Real change isn’t about one month; it’s about the gentle, consistent steps we take over time.
