A former Calvary attender who works for ESPN turned me to this feature produced by a colleague of his.  Suicide is sometimes the unspoken tragedy, but the reality is that it and the depression that at times leads to it need to be acknowledged in a way that leads to conversation, empathy and life.  I’ve dealt with far too many suicides over the course of my years of ministry, silence doesn’t help.
