As we near the end of Suicide Prevention Month, I want to share a music video with you. Rascal Flatts is known for their tear-jerking lyrics in many different songs, but this one is beyond words to me.

I strongly encourage listening, like really listening, to the lyrics. They have hit the nail on the head with this one.

"You couldn't feel the light reachin' for you through the stormy cloud."

"Oh why, that's what I keep asking. Was there anything I could've said or done."

"Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, God only knows."

"Who told you life wasn't worth the fight."

Phrases like this hit me, and maybe you, right to the core. They shine light on the fact that mental illness is there, but people don't always acknowledge it. They bring truth to the surface that most people truly don't know who is struggling or how to help them.

I would have to say, Rascal Flatts, you've gone above and beyond with this song. You have brought a "taboo" topic back into reality. This is real. This does happen.

In relation to Suicide Prevention Month coming to an end, it doesn't mean to stop educating yourself or looking for the signs in people around you. September will end, but mental illness will not, so suicide prevention should not either.
