September is Suicide Awareness Month, which means it’s time for us to talk about it. ♡
This is the first episode of the September CSTFU suicide awareness segment.
Let’s get started with finding out where Faith and Rachel’s passion for suicide awareness advocacy stemmed from?
The ladies choose to share their personal experience with suicidal ideation, self harm, attempts, mental disorders and loss.
Faith tells the Femmes about her secret hockey player love affair at 17 that ended in her first real heartbreak. Which left her spiraling deep into alcohol addiction and suicidal ideation which ended in a car crash that saved her life.
When you are young and feel that a breakup is the end of the world, it could end tragically.
Rachel then shares her deeply personal story of losing the boy she loved to suicide, a loss that will forever haunt her.
She explains how the agony of his suicide engulfed her life, leaving her at her most reckless state of life.
This is the powerful personal testimony of how God saved Rachel from taking her life.
We urge you to join us to bring light to the darkness.
