True Stories Shared

Do You Have A Story To Share?

We see so much power in stories. Your story. My story, We all have one and every single one is unique. There is no such thing as too simple, and this safe space can handle all the powerful, real, messy details. We appreciate and are grateful for all of those sharing their truths. We just believe that all stories have the ability to impact, especially when it comes to stories of suicide.

Be anonymous if you prefer, but also be bold and brave sharing your identity if you choose. This is your story. You control it. We share it. You inspire. We give thanks.

Our mission is to save lives through this community one story at a time. We believe in the power of speaking up, of being vulnerable, and showing love. As long as your story is personal, honest, has an identification with suicide, and from the heart, we want to feature it.
