Suicide is such a hard topic to talk about and in some cultures a taboo, which makes addressing suicidal symptoms extremely difficult.  It's hard enough dealing with the stress and shame that comes from our parenting fails.  It's even harder to admit that we have considered taking our life because life feels that hard. It can feel so shameful to seek the help we need. With the loss of a local mom to suicide, I  (Marisela) felt compelled to talk about the subject.   Claudia opens up about some of her struggles with depression.  In this episode, we want to offer you encouragement and hope.  We want you to know you are important and seen and that you are not alone in those rough moments in life.  If you are struggling and need to talk to someone immediately, please call 1-800-273-8255.
