When Hope Feels Gone, Death2life Is Still Here!

PHOENIX - EntSun -- This September, during Suicide Prevention Month, Death2Life (D2L) is sending one simple message to anyone who feels like giving up:

Stay. Your life is worth fighting for.

Since 2009, Death2Life has served as "A Refuge for the Hopeless and Suicidal," providing free, 24/7 resources and compassionate support for people struggling with suicide, depression, grief, anxiety and overwhelming hopelessness.

Those who need support can visit Death2Life.com or use Death2Life's text chat by texting D2L to 91627.

For more than 17 years, Death2Life has connected with people in some of the darkest moments of their lives, offering a caring presence, practical support and the eternal hope found in Jesus Christ.

"Suicide Prevention Month is more than a campaign or a hashtag to us," said Mario D'Ortenzio, President and CEO of Death2Life. "These are real people. Real families. Real lives hanging in the balance. Sometimes a person doesn't need someone to fix everything. They just need someone willing to step into the darkness with them and remind them that their story is not over."

Death2Life was created to meet people precisely in those moments.

Through its online platform, text chat, trained peer-support interventionists and suicide-prevention resources, Death2Life connects with hurting people around the clock, without charging the individual seeking help.

The organization primarily serves teens and young adults but has supported people ranging from children to older adults and has reached individuals across the United States and around the world.

SEPTEMBER'S MESSAGE: DON'T DISAPPEAR

Throughout Suicide Prevention Month, Death2Life is encouraging individuals, churches, families, schools, businesses and communities to become more intentional about noticing people who may be struggling.

D2L is asking people to:

• Reach out. Check on the person who has become unusually quiet or withdrawn.
• Listen. You do not need perfect words to sit with someone who is hurting.
• Take suicidal statements seriously. Never assume someone is simply looking for attention.
• Help people connect with support. No one should carry suicidal thoughts alone.
• Share Death2Life. Visit Death2Life.com or text D2L to 91627.
• Remind people to stay. A devastating chapter does not have to become the end of their story.

"Hopelessness tells people there is no way forward," D'Ortenzio said. "We want to interrupt that lie. There is another moment coming. There is another conversation coming. There is hope. And ultimately, we believe there is a Savior who sees them, loves them and has not abandoned them."

During September, Death2Life is also asking churches, organizations, influencers and individuals to help spread the message by sharing Death2Life.com and the D2L text chat with anyone who may be struggling.

"You never know when one text message, one social media post, one conversation or one shared resource could reach somebody at exactly the moment they need it," D'Ortenzio said. "Suicide prevention belongs to all of us."
