EP:111 My children should not grow up without their father.
I should not have to raise my children without their father.
No family should lose a loved one due to mental health. But here I am, and so many others.
This world is spinning out of control, and our brains can't keep up.
There's so much pressure to do more, be more, and it's crushing so many. I support parents day in and day out. If you're struggling, please don't wait. If you're lonely, please don't wait.
Never hesitate to reach out if you are finding yourself in this situation, there are hotlines that you can call. You can go to the hospital and as a friend and as a supporter, and anyone who is supporting someone who is in this state, it is okay to get yourself support. It is okay to take care of yourself, and it is also okay to do what you can to support them, but also release that outcome, which is, again, a really hard one to hear.
I hope you can share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
