I have had a stroke in early November and have aphasia - language is jumbled up in speaking or writing. You'll note my podcasts will sound differently, but it stills me!)
My name is Tara and I’m coming to you from somewhere near the Rocky Mountains. I like to see myself as middle aged but my chances of ever becoming a centenarian are very, very remote, so I’ve accepted that I have many more yesterdays than I do tomorrows. And I’m OK with that. I’m a collector of stories, both my own and those of others. Some are amusing, some are downright funny. Some are moving and hopefully, they all inspire you in some way. It is, after all, where our stories meet that compassion and community take place. When I’m asked to share a little about myself I say, I met my husband at a nudist park, it turns out he was a rock star and then I decided to become a priest! And people say you should write a book, I’m much too lazy to write a book. So. Welcome to You Should Write a Book ~ the Podcast.
You Should Write a Book ~ The Podcast
Reflections ~ Let's Talk About Suicide
Yes. Let's have a conversation about suicide. When Twitch died in December of 2022 millions of conversations were started about how he ended his own life. And that was a good thing. But, let's keep the conversation going. While I don't have all of the answers, no one really does, I can share some insights into the aftermath of a suicide, suicidal ideation, and where help can be found.
Do you remember Eeyore from the Winnie the Pooh comics? Have you ever noticed that his friends don't just leave him to be on his own or stop asking if he wants to join in, even though he is clearly depressed? That's one of the ways you can help someone in your life who is like Eeyore, be their Winnie! And, if you're like Winnie to someone who's struggling, there is help for you, too.
