Dying, and the incredible grief that completes the cycle of life is the greatest loss in human existence that no one escapes. In decay, our bodies break down to the original molecules regenerating life at a cellular level back to the earth. Witnessing death often signals a call into the shadows of our psyche.

I share about su!c!de because others wanted to silence me. In my attempts to seek help for SI, I experienced extensive systemic trauma from the places I believed would help me. SI was a deep wound demanding change. 

In IFS parts work, the suffering led me to unearthing the deepest of my shadows after many years of being pathologized, shamed, and having it weaponized against me in highly abusive ways. 

SI was a part that saved me. In working in IFS, shadow work, EMDR and then Compassionate Inquiry, it was the curious non-judgement containers where I challenge SI to understand what role it was serving me. Bringing  awareness to that the Su!c!de part brought on that protector. It saved me, and kept me alive. Forced me to my knees, huddled in darkness, releasing the mask, its shadows encouraged a look at my environments and how that was impacting me in my suffering. Through the suffering, I exhumed parts, honored their premature death, and rebirthed gifts I had buried long ago. 

I share this to say, suffering and death is the one common ground that connects us to humanity. It is the great mediator in life. As we invite openness in our suffering we invite others to be open about it too. I was alone in my suffering - rejected when I had the courage to speak up. I share so that anyone out there who may need someone to talk to might have the courage to make the call, send a text, reach out. If you have no safe people to open up about SI, I am here to listen and be an empathetic witness. I’m open about SI for others who may feel alone - our shared experiences is sharing in humanity. Releasing shame through compassion heals.
