Shits rough right now, but please know you’re LOVED!

Being loved and making someone feel loved/worthwhile is completely distinct. One is almost useless to a suicidal person. The platitudes and canned responses regarding suicide are insufficient and really fail to grasp the situation these people are in. Many years of depression and hopelessness often times precede a person taking their own life which in many circumstances are filled with an equal time feeling not worthwhile.

Someone gets it. Non suicidal people will never understand.
