What happens when you or someone you love wants to die? What do you do when you want to hurt yourself? How do you help someone who is so depressed they have given up? Or help someone going through a panic attack or intense fear? These are the dark areas of emotional healing and spiritual growth that before now, no one wanted to talk about. But it’s at these crossroads where we learn to use the pain and suffering as bridge to self discovery instead of a sentence of repetitive pain and self-harming and/or addictive behaviors.

In a mental health crisis, MOMSLOVE is an acronym which serves as a recipe for steps to take to get yourself out of a crisis state. The steps are very simple yet very powerful.
