Summary

Hello, friends. Something a little different today. No intro or sponsors. Just a frank response from me to someone that feels that their best option is to stop living. Someone wrote in who is imminently suicidal. Therefore, the contents of this episode might not be appropriate for everyone. Please keep that in mind.

You are not alone.

All right, hello friends. This episode of the podcast is going to be a little bit different.

0:04.5

I don't have an intro or outro. There are no sponsors for this episode. This episode is, I suppose you could say, a little bit more more serious and it's going to be covering some potentially

0:16.7

intense topics.

0:18.4

This episode is directly related to the topic of suicide. So if that's something that you're not prepared to hear and listen to,

0:26.1

I would prefer for you to, you know, not listen or listen at a time that you're more comfortable.

But I'm going to be answering one question and it is about that

and I've seen you're pretty cautious about some topics,

1:10.0

How can I now while I'm still here help prepare other people in my life?

1:15.0

What can I do to ease their grief after?

1:18.0

They obviously don't know anything and I'm not saying it no matter what.

1:21.0

I just want to help them while I can. Also should I write a letter with my

1:24.8

reasons to die or do people not want to know that like it might make them feel guilty?

1:30.1
