Reminder 🧡 #theconnecthut

Sometimes words fall short, and all someone needs is your presence. Just being there can speak louder than any words ever could—because love and care are felt, not always said. #theconnecthut

On this International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the depth of your pain. Today is a day to remind you that you are not alone. When someone dies by suicide, those left behind often feel blamed or see themselves as failures. As a partner, parent, sibling, or colleague, you might feel like you didn’t do enough to stop it, "Could I have done more? Why didn’t I see the signs?" or others might blame you, adding to the weight of your grief. But please, hear us when we say: It is not your fault. Suicide is multifaceted. There is no simple answer, no magic words, and it is never because of just one thing. Suicide itself is very misunderstood and stigmatized. Grief from suicide often comes with shame, anger, and confusion, but you are worthy of care, love, and kindness—especially from yourself. You don’t have to carry this burden alone. Reach out when you need support—whether it’s a friend, a therapist, or a community of others who understand the depth of your loss. If you have thoughts of suicide, feel free to connect with us and the resources below. This is a difficult day. You are seen.
