Crystal Partney is an author, speaker, and founder of Scattering Hope and Owl & Thistle. She is also the host of the upcoming You Are Loved podcast.
The day before her 32nd birthday in 2019, would be the day that changed her life forever. Little did Crystal know, she would receive the devastating news that her sister Gina had taken her life that morning. Crystal is on a mission to scatter hope to those who need it most. Not only to those who have experienced a tragedy of losing a loved one to suicide, but especially to those who have struggled with mental health and feel alone.
She wants everyone to know that They Are Loved! Everyone is unique, and matters.
The statics don’t lie. Suicide rates are on the rise. Especially when it comes to a younger demographic, which is both heartbreaking and shocking. Now more than ever before, we need to tell the people in our life how much they are loved and they matter. Let’s not keep this a secret anymore. We need to start the conversation about mental health and the struggles that we all face.
How I began healing after my sister’s passing. Why I say, choose YOU, and deciding on if and when you are going to begin the healing process. Why I say that using outdated language such as “committed suicide” doesn’t matter because at the end of the day, my sister wasn’t coming back regardless, of how I describe her passing from suicide. What the grieving process looked like for me and how I began healing and most importantly, how you can too. How I began helping others heal after suicide.
