What do you say when you lose another loved one to suicide? How am I supposed to feel? First Ryan and now sweet Emil. Depression and psychosis are real issues. If you see a friend acting a little off or distracted please stop to check in with them. See a stranger hard off? Say hi and give them a smile. You never know how it may change them. I am so tired of losing. Too many gone in 2020 and now my sweet friend. The worst part is that since I stepped away from Facebook I didn't find out until today. He passed in December last year. There is no shame in asking for help, you can do so anonymously. It takes a strong person to admit you need help, much stronger than you may think that you are. Remember tomorrow is a whole new day, a fresh start on perspective, and you would be surprised how giving things some time overnight often helps process our feelings. Emil was an amazing friend and bright light wherever he went. He knew no enemies and was always there to make you feel better. The world is a less colorful and magical place now that you are gone. May your spirit rest eternally my brother.
