Thank you for sharing this story. The spirograph is a beautiful way to describe the complexity of our connections and how we can support each other by being present. Suicide is heart breaking and it impacts so many people especially those closest. I applaud you for speaking out and creating a dialog about a subject many find difficult. My hope is that we can all begin to talk more openly about depression and other struggles that we face as human beings. Three years ago we started a conversation at our coworking space called "Holding the Space- a conversation about all things spiritual" and we meet every Monday at noon, starting with a 4 min meditation. From there it is a free wheeling conversation that is lightly facilitated. It is simply a conversation where people can go deeper and share our experiences, ideas, wonder and yes sometimes our struggles. It has turned into one of the most enjoyable hour and a half meetings I attend each week. The connections are meaningful and enjoyable. I believe there is a need for this kind of "holding the space" where we can share a little more of our personal experiences and show up for each other now and then in a different way. My hope is that more coworking spaces will consider hosting such discussions.
Thanks again for sharing your story...it may help to move such important conversations out into the open and in doing so it may help save lives.
