💚 PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN. 💚
This video is a little over 16 minutes long. We know that is longer than what we typically stop to watch on social media—but we hope you’ll give these 16 minutes your time.
In recognition of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, the Phi Rho Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® invited family members who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a loved one to su***de to share their voices, their memories, and the impact that loss has left behind.
These aren't just stories. These are mothers, fathers, siblings, children, relatives, and friends speaking from a place no family ever wants to know.
Their message is simple:
💚 You matter.
💚 You are loved.
💚 Your absence would leave a space that can never truly be filled.
💚 Help is available. Please talk to someone.
And for the rest of us—check on your people. Listen without judgment. Pay attention. Ask the question. Make the call. Sometimes the person who appears to be the strongest may be carrying more than we know.
We are incredibly grateful to every family who trusted us with their stories and allowed us to honor the lives and memories of those they love.
If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please stay. Your story is not over. 💚
With love, remembrance, and hope,
The Phi Rho Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®
