This was the only board I felt that this belongs to as it is emotional and sad, but also deeply spiritually moving. P.S. at around the 36:20 mark is a statement that is heartbreaking, most of the general public is unaware of it. |

They always cover it up. When I lived in Seattle I knew people who worked with law enforcement. The number of suicides every week (except for summer months) were astronomical - especially during the holidays. They were never reported in the news. In Seattle, I worked near a lake that emptied out into the canal. I had to pass under the Aurora bridge each night fairly late. I can't tell you how many times there would be police and fire engines underneath looking for a body in the water. One year there were over 20 suicides on Christmas day alone (2010 or so). Never heard a thing on the news. |

Bless their precious hearts, this man's son as well as each and every one of those known and counted, and those not, who could find no other recourse but this...as well as each life shattered by the action... I wish I could say I was surprised... ;( ...but for all we've "attained" along...well, a few other lines...we remain a savagely ignorant culture when it comes to even the desire and drive to truly understand (let alone learn how to effectively support and minister to) all that we authentically go through psychoemotionally as human beings, and its impact... It'll come far too late for those we've lost...but it will arise... |
