February 11, 2016: I Attempted Suicide (Reflections)

On February 11, 2011, Kea's life changed forever. For this week's episode, Kea takes time to reflect on her suicide attempt and share the details of the day she was hospitalized. Instead of focusing on this day a reminder of trying to end her life, she chooses to look at it as a 'birthday', a day to thank God for giving her another chance, celebrate her progress and inspire others through the fireflies unite movement.
