It’s sadly ten years ago this week I lost my younger sister Mary to suicide. I’ve written this as a plea to anyone who is feeling this low, please reach out, to someone, anyone. You are not alone. You matter, we all matter. Please make the call that she was sadly unable to. Namaste 🕉️

If today was the end of all I could be, would I be replete, looking behind me?
Was I loved so well, did I love at all, was my passion as wild as my mind can recall?
Did I run with the wind on a hot summers night, did I laugh at the storms and draw heat from the light?
Did I dive in headfirst, embracing the chill, did I swim with the tide or against for the thrill?
Did I ride with abandon, embracing my fate, or weave a path of my own, only one I could make?
Did I fly t’ward the stars, and smile with the moon, did I start life too early and leave it too soon?
Did I chase down my dreams, did I hunt where they hide, did I once try to seize them and keep them alive?
Did I love with abandon, my soul soaring free, did I sing every word as if written for me?
If today was the end of all I could be, would I be replete, looking behind me?
Was I loved so well, did I love at all, was my passion as wild as my mind can recall?
