We recently became aware of a blogpost entitled “Everybody Still Hurts” (https://found.ee/KRPny9) highlighting the R.E.M. song “Everybody Hurts” and its groundbreaking video, both released 32 years ago. The song and video remain resonant worldwide and in real people’s lives. The blog author broke down people’s comments on YouTube from expressing pain, sharing memories of a loved one, to notes of encouragement and positivity - but wonders why there isn’t a Suicide Hotline telephone number listed for people who need it right then. We agree. And in that spirit, we offer some resources we’ve been able to track down:
