Suicide is not our tradition

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Are you sad? Are you giving up on life? You have a problem and it seems like it’s going to go on forever?

But you know something? It will go away, no matter what. Your problems will be solved.

Talk to someone, anyone. Get it out. Pour out all of your problems and sadness. You will feel much better. Once you get it out you will feel much happier.

If you are giving up on life, try and think about your parents, kids, grandparents, friends. Think of them first. Think of what it will do to them if you commit suicide. Think long and hard about what it will do to them.

No matter what, someone out there cares about you and loves you for who you are. Talk to someone. Suicide is not our tradition. It’s not the Inuit way. Please talk to someone out there. Don’t give up on life.

Life is so fragile and precious — cherish it. Love yourself and help others, those who need help.

But most of all, remember always that God is beside you holding your hands, helping you to get through hard and sad times.

God bless you, whoever you are.
