Here it is the last day of September, which is suicide awareness month in the US. A month specific for recognition to those who struggle with suicide ideation, whether once in their life, or it is a lifetime challenge. There are many success stories when help arrived and a person at risk was given another chance at a joyful life. However, this blog focuses on unmet needs. This month brings greatly needed attention to individuals and loved ones facing this life-threatening strife.
Attention being the optimum need. Those challenged to stay alive, be seen and heard, and families grieving huge loss are greatly underserved without consistent effective support and treatment. This is not meant to devalue the support that does exist once the risk is suspected or those very attentive loved ones who keep a conversation open allowing whatever topics are needed to provide compassionate support. No topics left behind because of fear, beliefs, or lack of information. Suicide is usually a silent killer in society which most times is being dealt with after the tragedy.
Traveling the journey of to live or not is a lonely one. No one is talking. Not the ones struggling or those close around them. And then there are the events when someone struggling speaks up and then either is met with silence or immediate fear, and a referral to someone else, maybe a professional. It is like a hidden weight around the situation, and everyone is drowning. No one is listening and no one is talking enough to bridge the gap between life and death.
Mostly this is out of fear. The challenge is what to say when one is struggling, either the journeyer for life, or the chosen ones the speak to, in hopes of being heard. It is a privilege when chosen to be a person someone at risk reaches out to for support. Even if the message is not clear, there is always a compassionate way to respond. Many lives have been saved when someone, even a stranger, offered a caring smile or conversation at a very specific time on a very specific day. For that person at risk, it was everything for them.
Suicide has many harsh associations in society. These range from serious mental health concerns, it is a sin, it is a vengeance act, it is always a personal choice with no purpose, or a tragedy that could be prevented. The last one, the truest. What prevents suicide from not being the final choice in life? Compassion, education, acceptance, appropriate support, medication that doesn’t increase the likelihood of a tragic outcome. The last one, again, something difficult to acknowledge. Why would there be medication prescribed that can increase the risk? I believe science and the medical profession can do better. How much research and development are really occurring around this health risk? Think about how many resources are spent on curing cancer, heart disease, neurological injuries, and other serious health challenges. Who makes the decisions about research and treatment options for preventing suicide, and when does it move up in the priorities of saving lives? Suicide is now the number one tragedy taking the lives of teenagers. This is not only an individual or familial issue. This is a gaping unfilled need for everyone. As a society we are losing our brilliant future citizens who are meant to be here to heal the growing separation between the fading traditions and the New World infused with love, compassion, joy, and helping one another.
I have written on this topic before. Here’s a link to that post.
I think this is where I say, this issue and the needed attention and healing support is not just about others. I speak this from my own true heart as someone who has been on this long and shadowy journey multiple times in my life. It has not been a once in a lifetime challenge. It has reared its head in times of major transitions in my life. I am here telling you this again about a metaphysical tool that can help. It can be focused on an individual or taught in the schools and other communities in order to prepare people for when critical periods of life might push in the direction of feeling “Is this all there is, and I must leave now.” It is unique to each person and can detail why some people are more at risk than others for taking their own life, sometimes in an instant not thought of previously. I am here because my access to gifted astrology teachers and my ability to intuitively and scientifically see and feel the planetary connections saved my life; and maybe some others when I was asked in advance of a potential tragic event. One of the greatest gifts of the healing tool of Astrology, is proof of “This shall pass too, and here’s a date.” Time is long past for humanity to stop denying the reality of the psycho spiritual science of Astrology. It is the oldest science and has been the basis of cultures and religious orders for centuries. Detailing the history of Astrology is not my purpose here today so I will move on to how you personally can help. Here is a short video series prepared for teaching and facilitating my own healing journey and expanded reference to critical life cycles. More of this soon to come

Check yourself and see if suicide has ever been an option in your life, even if a long time has passed. Have open and loving conversations with your family, friends, congregation, and community now and let everyone know there is compassionate support in the group, and they can speak at any time without fear of judgement or dismissal. Never assume this is not a real situation. And please don’t turn the total care and treatment over to mental health professionals without maintaining the very important role of participation of family and loved ones. Just like addiction, it is a family condition requiring active supportive participation in the healing.
Reach out to organizations and groups that support suicide prevention. Gently reach out to families you know who have dealt with a tragic loss by suicide and ask if there is anything you can do to help, even be a compassionate listener. Speaking of and listening to the needs is the greatest support missing pieces for reducing the growing loss from those who choose to leave the planet on their own. These numbers increase every year, and it would be rare if death by suicide didn’t touch directly or indirectly every person. We are in this together and as we are all connected as One it cannot be denied we all have some responsibility for the healing.
Divinely One is doing its part to bring awareness. There are two books in progress to highlight the importance of knowledge and education to prevent loss of children and adults and how it impacts the lives of those left to grieve. I personally am working with 5 mothers and a gifted medium to bring forth teachings in the spirit connection within families. All of these mothers have lost a son tragically. Not all are from suicide, however, loss and grief are similar. As a group, we are connecting the Spirit insight and connections and supporting this with the Astrological aspects these sons have with their mothers. No one is more in awe than me of the process and the healing I have observed with these mothers through the sharing of their personal stories. It is an untangling of connections and a service to humanity.
If you have lost a loved one tragically or are dealing with at risk family members, maybe we can help.
Divinely One through research, review, and personal experiences prepared the basis for a Teaching Memoir to be published soon. It is meant to support the remarkable tool of Astrology and how it saves lives. There has been an ongoing challenge of finding support for the validity of this approach to prevention. There is still a significant percentage of humanity, especially the elder generations, where Astrology does not resonate as a valuable healing tool. The younger generations are much more able to understand the cosmic connections and are actively integrating the support into their lives. That’s a different topic I will cover at another time. It really is just science and the order of planets that makes the difference between generations.
If you feel drawn to further along these projects and provide scholarship funding for those in need of healing support, please donate to Divinely One, a 501c3 charitable organization. Those who are served by your generosity are grateful.
With Gratitude,
Thia
