I received news last night that someone i know
committed suicide (yesterday morning). The tragedy of
this story is that she attempted just last Wednesday
and she was released from the hospital. They set her
up for a psych assessment this week... I do not
understand why they let her go. Her method was very
telling, very much done with the intention of 100%
success. This was no mock battle cry for help, this
was a real and horrific war on her self.
I hope it will not be deemed inappropriate for me to
bring this to the list. I am very disturbed by this
news which comes loaded with issues for me. I felt
compelled to share this with you, my joni family and
friends. For the most part, I cant feel anything about
this. Am I numb? I have to be. I do know that I am
really angry but my feelings stop right there. It is
all so surreal.
I wanted to reiterate and support what Rose Joy said
recently about how important it is to listen to
someone who is depressed and who is leaning toward
taking their own life. Take it seriously. Listen.
Hear.
and tell the people in your life today...you love
them.
