There are those times in life that the best thing we can do is not to try harder, but to try softer. Sometimes trying harder doesn’t work anymore. Try something different, t r y s o f t e r … #compassionatelistening #overburdened #overwrought #pushhard #take5tosavelives

The stages of grief are not linear. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance can happen at different times and do not necessarily happen in any particular order. Everyone’s journey through grief is different. Does this journey look familiar to you? #grief

The loss of a loved one changes our life, our routine, the plans we had for our future, and along with this - grief changes us in ways we didn’t think possible. 💔 What have you stopped doing since experiencing the death of your loved one? take5tosavelives.org/find-help #death

KINDNESS: Loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness. It is taking the time no matter how busy a person is. Let’s love our elderly with Random Acts of Kindness. #elder #elderly #seniors #take5tosavelives #forgotten #elderlycare #seniorcare #health

Physical health problems significantly increase our risk of developing mental health issues, and vice versa. The mind and body are often viewed as being separate entities, but they are actually closely related. #physicalhealth #take5tosavelives #mentalhealth #risk

Boys and men are as fragile as girls and women. The difference is that they have been trained from a very young age to push down their emotions and handle things on their own. We need to start NOW in giving them permission to feel and not to ignore their feelings. #boys #men

Take your day one step at a time. If you struggle with anxiety, worry, or panic attacks, taking things one step at a time can help. BREATHE! #onedayatatime #take5tosavelives #takingitonedayatatime #liveonedayatatime #livingonedayatatime #healingonedayatatime #justonedayatatime

LISTENING IS THE BEST GIFT! When you are truly listening you are sharing your time, your presence, your mind, and your heart. Especially in times of challenge, your gift of listening might just be the thing that someone needs the most. Who in your life is an empathetic listener?

Suicide does not define your loved one. They were still loved and treasured by you and others. They should be remembered the same way anyone else who dies is remembered. They had achievements, meaning, and in all probability had an incredible life.
