invisible pain
suicide
claims another life
~kat
RIP Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, and the thousands of people who die every year at their own hand…including my own father in 1980. Here in the US the rate of suicide has risen 30% in the last decade making it the 10th leading cause of death of people between the ages of 10 and 75. The reasons are myriad, but there is help. If you or someone you know needs help, here’s a number you can call. You’re not alone.
US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Very sad – you speak a very important message Kat. My Dad took his own life- no obvious warning that it was on his mind.

So sorry to hear Francine. We often never know the pain hidden in someone’s head. Which is all the more reason to be kind to one another. 😢

I was a huge fan. Thanks to this man, I learnt how to love and appreciate food from other cultures. Sorry to hear about your father, Kat. Suicide is an issue the whole world is struggling with today 😦
