I often find myself sitting in the lap of the elephant in this room.... I sit there and read.

It's probably crazy but the elephant is a protector for me. Because this elephant is in the room I have learned what loved ones go through when a loved one ends their life. I know that I do not want to put my loved ones through this kind of pain... the pain that may ease but never goes away.

I know now that there are others like me... those that have struggled and fought a very long fight to beat away the demons that make us want to commit suicide.

Many walk around this elephant, some try to push it out of the room, me I have embraced it and for that I am still here. I am learning to ride this elephant now for I feel if we become friends then talking about the elephant is not quite so scary.

Well...that's just my ramblings... hope it makes sense.
for all!!
