Marquis Dycus
Sometimes the people who seem okay are carrying battles we know nothing about.Someone Would Miss You Because Your Story Isn’t Over: Catch People When You See Them Falling is a deeply personal reminder that checking on someone can matter more than we realize.Inspired by a real moment when Marquis Dycus reached out to a college colleague who was facing difficult circumstances-and shaped by the loss and memory of his friend Beau Hamner-this book challenges readers to become more intentional about noticing, listening to, and showing up for the people around them.Through reflections on hidden struggles, meaningful conversations, friendship, grief, compassion, and the importance of reaching out, Marquis explores what it really means to 'catch' someone when they are falling.You don’t have to fix someone’s entire life to make a difference in one moment of it. Sometimes you simply have to notice. Sometimes you have to ask twice. Sometimes you have to listen. And sometimes you have to remind someone that they don’t have to carry everything alone.The original Someone Would Miss You Because Your Story Isn’t Over reminded readers to keep writing their own stories.This book turns that message outward:Help someone else keep writing theirs.Don’t wait until you’re wishing you had said something. Tell people they matter while they’re still here to hear it. Check on the strong friend. Remember the quiet friend. Reach out when someone crosses your mind.Because their story isn’t over either.
