Call Me Before You Go - by Ruthie Gayle (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Someone you love struggles with depression. That loved one may be on the brink of suicide. You're not a doctor or a therapist or a psychologist, but you want to help. But how?

In Call Me Before You Go, you will discover ...

• What to say (and what not to say) to a friend who is battling depression
• How five simple words could help save the life of your loved one
• What your friend wishes she could say while she's struggling



A note from the author:

We cannot underestimate the power of friendship to help pull a person out of the darkness of depression. Thanks to the special people in my life who didn't leave, this is a story of hope, divine intervention, and redemption.

Most of all, this is a story about friendship. Friendship that breaks down walls and fills in the hardened cracks of our desperate souls with love. Unconditional, life-changing love.

If you are fighting for someone you love, I hope that you will find courage and strength in my story. May you find hope and light in these chapters. May you find freedom and worthiness not only in this story, but also in yours.
