When you have experienced a tragedy of losing a loved one by suicide, friendships become something that is vital so we don't escape to our own thoughts and within our four walls.

I remember finding myself wanting to be alone after my sister died.

I couldn't fully allow myself to stay in bed all day long because as I've shared in other episodes, my daughter still needed me to be mom even if I didn't feel like it.

This is where having friends who love you unconditionally make all the difference in the world.

If you have someone or multiple friends like this, wonderful!

I'm talking in this week's episode how we can help a friend who has experienced a similar tragedy as this one...

How you can be the friend that you wish you had when you experienced this loss.

Showing up and caring deeply during their time of need is what friends do.

Remember, YOU ARE LOVED!
