In the “Moving Through Times of Loss and Sadness Together” podcast, Dorman and Lee share how the holidays can be a sad time for many people. Suicide is a reality that is happening across the country and has happened in our own community this past month. Depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and feeling alone, sad, lost . . . we all have experienced these things. Mental health touches every single one of us. Taking time to be present with one another and support each other is so important – to come together in love and care – and let each other know that we are not alone. We can reach out to people in different ways – social media, phone calls, emails, or a written note – to check in on each other. We all experience mental health symptoms. We can identify with each other because we have at one time or another, shared the same feelings as others. Sitting in these emotions is important to do with one another even when we don’t have the answers. Self-care is crucial to working through these hard times.
