“After all,” Kathy said, “if you hadn't hurt your foot, Simon and I might not have met.” A little girl might not be growing up with the pain of her father’s suicide. The experience helped me better understand the feelings of people who have lost a loved one to suicide. If you or someone you love is contemplating suicide, seek help immediately. For help 24/7 dial 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or reach out to the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.
