Make Life Swyter
Make Life Swyter is a nonprofit created in loving memory of Tyler Swyter, who took his own life in October of 2015. Our mission is to encourage being kind to each other with the belief that one act of kindness has the potential to save a life by preventing su***de. On October 4, 2015, our beloved son, brother, nephew and grandson, Tyler Swyter, died by su***de at the young age of 21 years old. Tyl

Some people are drowning in pain you’ll never see.
They laugh at work.
They show up for their families.
They post smiling pictures online…
…and then cry alone in the dark when no one’s watching.
This month — and every month — remember:
Not all pain is visible. Not all trauma leaves scars you can see.
To the ones silently battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, childhood trauma, or heartbreak so deep it changed the way they breathe…
We see you. We honor you. We’re holding space for you. 🕊️
If you’re struggling, your story isn’t over. You are not a burden. You are loved. And you are worth fighting for.
✨ Please check on your strong friends. Be kind on purpose. Love out loud.
