Jordan Spieth, Hole 11, Round 2, @JohnDeere Classic. Jordan pulled his tee-shot left into the hazard. His window out was tight as he yelled back to Greller whom stood over his ball. They opted to take nearest relief, dropping on the cart-path, still made bogey.

My heart is really hurting. A lot. Seeing the news of Grayson Murray’s passing hits hard. I understand the pain his family is feeling, and I’ve experience the hopeless darkness that Grayson felt. People always say “just ask for help”. But it isn’t that simple… A thread:

Suicide won’t define his legacy, because suicide is not who he was. It was a symptom of a violent invisible pain. He was more of a man than most, because he talked about it. We ALL must talk about our pain, and learn to hear other’s stories of suffering. We MUST learn to listen

Depression can actually be so hard that hopelessness takes the lives of thousands every. single. day. But even in that darkness, Grayson Murray was still a light. He was kind, generous, a joy to work with, and openly vulnerable with his mental and physical struggles.

When the struggle is as real as it was for Grayson, there is no one person that can help. It takes an army. When you seek help and can’t find it, you have to keep seeking. And maybe someone will be able to help a little, but then you need to find another person to help more.

One of the most discouraging elements of my decades-long battle with severe depression is that most people didn’t know how to help. Even the professionals hadn’t experienced the abuse, trauma, and darkness that I had. No one could relate to me. Or so I thought…

Depression is a silent killer because even those suffering the most appear fine on the outside. “He seemed great the last time I saw him”. It is our responsibility to talk to each other more about real life, & less about our golf scores & upcoming bro trips. Lives depend on it.

You go deeper. Over and over. The struggle may never completely go away. And honestly, it may get a whole lot harder first, but it WILL get better. A LOT BETTER. You must keep fighting, never settling until you find yourself in a good place, and even then, you continue to find.

I turned to writing openly in 2016 to get my thoughts out. I started posting them on “secretlifeofdad” on IG as a way to publicly express my journey. I call it ‘kilt-lifting’. It was embarrassing, humiliating, and healing. I learned how to be vulnerable in my wild brokenness.

If someone says they are “doing good”, ask more pointed questions. Everyone is going through something. Let’s actually talk to each other. What I discovered was just how cathartic it was for me to publicly express the war that was waging within.

If we can’t be vulnerable w/ a friend, we can’t be vulnerable w/ Jesus, our ultimate healer. If we can’t be vulnerable w/ Jesus, we can’t be vulnerable with those who want to help. The ONLY way we can find true healing is being vulnerable enough to ALLOW ourselves to be healed.
