This is a repost of an episode from our first season, and it's one of the most important ones we've ever done. An anonymous friend joins me to talk about the struggles she encountered the night her boyfriend tried to kill himself, and the aftermath. She re-lives this evening in great detail and goes on to speak about how his life was spared and the emotional distress it caused her. This is also a beautiful and inspirational story of love and deep compassion. Don't miss this episode. If you know someone going through a tough time, making remarks, making threats to kill themselves, it's time to speak up. You can be the difference in someone's life. And here is the proof of that. Thank you for listening.
