In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month, we at The Chanticleer would like to offer our support to those fighting silent battles.
Suicide and suicidal ideation are heavy topics, but we as an editorial board understand just how important normalizing talking about these topics can be.
We chose to cover this topic by writing a story which shows how suicide affects those who are left behind and forced to deal with tragedy and loss.
