These are some ways people die every day. The thing is, these ways of death can be prevented. Overdoses can be stopped. Have someone help regulate pills and other medications. School shootings never have to happen again. Control the gun laws and take notice of possible signs. Drunk driving accidents are easy to reverse. Don't get in the car if you have been drinking and call someone to come get you. Suicide doesn't have to be one of the leading causes of death among any age. Check up on those around you and make sure everyone knows that they are loved. There might not be much you can do for your loved ones, but be there for them.

As a survivor against mental health to anyone struggling, it does get better. I know you've heard that more times than you'd like, but it's true. I have no doubt that your battle is hard and it feels like the only thing possible is to give in, but keep fighting. You're almost there.

No one should have to bury their child. No one should lose someone by any of these ways. We can stop this. We can live our lives together.
