Understanding Suicide Ver. 2 | Page 12

I know it’s tough. Your pain is real and sometimes suffocating.

-Dawson McAllister

Dawson's 4 Reasons to keep working at LIFE:

1. Do you know for certain what the future holds? What if you miss out on something GREAT? If you can work through your pain in this moment in time, you might very likely find that on the other side awaits a life full of great experiences and meaningful relationships that you can’t even imagine right now.

2. Someone DOES care. I know you might feel completely alone and feel no one is there for you but there are people that care about you and people you can talk to. You just might need to seek them out.

3. You can help others and possibly save someone's life. There are people all around you who are struggling too. Sometimes taking our eyes off of ourselves for a little bit, allows us to see others who are in pain as well. Perhaps at this moment you need to work on your own healing, but in time, you could be that person that helps others. “What if this “thing” you are dealing with is the very “thing” you are meant to overcome to be a hope and a help to others that will eventually struggle with it as well? Overcome this and be there for others that are struggling.
