Herstories: A Legacy of Love — You Are Not Alone

Herstories: Honoring My Close Friend Margaret
A Legacy of Love, Loss, and the Power of Connection

Today’s Herstories episode carries both a profound loss and a powerful reminder. As we reflect on the life of a dear friend, who took her life in June 2025, we pause not only to celebrate her radiant spirit but also to honor the lasting impact she had on everyone she touched.

It’s a reminder to cherish every moment, hold our loved ones close, and remember that behind every smile, someone might be fighting a battle we can’t see.

Mental health struggles, addiction, and depression do not discriminate. They affect people from all backgrounds and communities. Yet, far too often, these struggles stay hidden, covered in silence and shame.

This episode of Herstories is a reflection, a tribute, and a promise — a promise to do better, speak up, and reach out. No one should have to fight alone.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or wondered if the world would be better off without you, please hear this: You matter. Your story matters. Help is available. There is hope. You’re not alone.

We want Margaret’s memory to be a shining light in dark places, reminding us that love, compassion, and support are our strongest qualities. Margaret, we love and miss you deeply with all our hearts.
