How to offer support for someone feeling suicidal (…and hope for anyone in that painful place)

How to offer support for someone feeling suicidal

 

I put a call out on social media to support a friend of mine whose partner was feeling suicidal. Powerful sentiments and resources poured in. For National Suicide Prevention Week in the US, we’ve compiled the unfiltered insight and hopefulness from survivors, their loved ones, and other caring souls.

May our suffering transform into liberating strength, and our despair into an incredible beauty that carries us to joy over and over again. And with deepest humility and respect for each person’s path I say: May these words save lives, and may those lives be well lived and wildly loved.

With Great Love,

WE CONTRACT SO WE CAN EXPAND. 💗

Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddist term that’s translated as attachment, but it’s much more than that. It’s the hook, that triggering force that pulls us into habitual patterns of closing down. It’s the contraction reaction, not a conscious response.

You know that tight feeling? That’s Shenpa. It’s our soul’s invitation for integrity, pushing us to grow.

EPS 145 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is about noticing the hook and making a better decision. It’s about not taking the emotional bait.

So that the next time you get triggered, take a breath, recognize the hook, and ask yourself, "What’s my soul inviting me to do here?"
