Come To My Own Rescue
Paula Held c. 2014

Having just woken up my eyes are new
and there's no one who will save me if there's any saving to do
A new day has descended and I know how it feels to be befriended
and I have come to my own rescue

They say that the sun is a powerful star
It swings through my window every morning 
through the peach-colored curtains and my muddy heart
A new day has descended and I know how it feels to be befriended
and I won't tear this good thing apart

It's been a long time trying to find a mainline
to a little quiet time and a little peace of mind
It's been a long time trying to find a mainline
to a little quiet time and a little peace of mind

As the years click by I know one thing's true
There's no one thing that'll help you
but it helps if you tell yourself to push on through
A new day has descended and I know how it feels to be befriended
and I have come to my own rescue

It's been a long year trying to kick that last tear
from the top of this wall of fear that somebody left right here
It's been a long year trying to kick that last tear
from the top of this wall of fear that somebody left right here

How do you help a child understand the unfathomable loss of a parent to suicide?

Navigating Grief and Finding Purpose: Understanding the Impact of Suicide on Families | Episode 165

Navigating the Stages of Grief: Understanding the Emotional Process

Grief is never a straight path. Some days it feels heavy, other days it shifts unexpectedly — from sadness to anger, from numbness to brief moments of peace. In this audio reflection, we explore what grief really means, the myth of the “five stages,” how culture shapes the way we mourn, and the tools that can help us carry love forward even in loss.

Take a moment to pause with us — to breathe, reflect, and remember that you don’t have to walk through grief alone.
