To My Readers,

Every twelve minutes, a death by suicide occurs in the United States. These deaths leave behind devastated loved ones, and often with one lingering question; why? If you or someone you know, are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a loved one or contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-(800) 273-8255. Please remember, you are not alone.
