Repeat after me, “It’s not my fault.” But, I get it. When someone we care about dies by suicide, it’s natural to wonder. Every time I’ve lost a loved one to suicide, including this week, I find myself going there. What if I’d called or texted them that day (or closer to when it happened) […]

You’re fifteen for a moment, caught in between ten and twenty… You probably don’t know this song reference, but we’ll remedy that today. 15. Years. Old. Say what? When did that happen?!
