Surviving: Then, and Now is a series where Kristy Jo, Mind and Body Strategist and founder of Power Your Life Life Today, interviews survivors of suicide attempts. The goal of this series is to present the world with more understanding, insight, and tools to prevent suicide.

Chronic depression and coping as a wife and mother is our topic of conversation with Tara, who has chosen to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of our discussion.

She discusses how she has coped with the ups and downs, how miracles have kept her on this earth, and how she has grown her "toolbox" of how to keep herself safe when she spirals into the dark places.

Her experience, compassion, and perspective will bring tears to your eyes as you listen with a new understanding and even greater love for each day you live.

PLEASE share this with other mothers who may need to feel they're not alone. Together, we can change the stigma. We can start the dialogue. We can make a difference in the lives of one person at a time!

Be sure to find Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4, and be on the lookout for part 6 released later this week.
