For many who have been touched personally by suicide, it can be important to learn that not all suicide is curable, despite our continued efforts to prevent suicide from completing. But some suicidal ideation, like stage 4 cancer, is simply metastasized beyond the individual's control. For this reason, we don't only encourage people to get in touch when they need help. We also check in on our people when we can. Is there someone you haven't heard from in a while and that you can check in with today?

 | Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |
