4 years ago, my first cousin Jonathan took his own life after secretly suffering with depression for 10 years. It was a devastating loss for my entire family, and our lives have never been the same.
Although we couldn't save Jonathan, I know there are so many people out there who are suicidal or are going through depression. Hopefully this campaign encourages more people who have gone through losing a family member, or feeling suicidal themselves, to share their story and let other people know that LIFE IS WORTH LIVING and that there are so many people out there who love you and want to help you get through your pain.
As we say in Tagalog "Walang hiya" - No shame". Don't be ashamed of your pain. Please spread the word, and share your stories.

RIP Jonathan T. You are so missed. #todadit
