This
kills people. Too many. There is no excuse for the rate of suicide we
have in this country. Why do we act like suicide is a part of life? It
is not a part of life: depression is an illness in the brain. Do we say
that about diabetes or appendicitis? Just watch people die from those
things and shake our heads? As a society we bear a collective guilt for
failing to inform ourselves, for looking the other way. It's way past time to do something about it. We can't wait for Dr. Drew anymore.
My wish is that every single person on Facebook know how to prevent suicide. How many lives could we save collectively? Let's stop the stigma. This Is a Tedtalks video about helping: "How to Save a Life." Please watch and share. You really may save someone's life sometime. The main tool to prevent suicide is human connection: listening and being willing to take action. We are all capable of that. Suicide destroys-the dead and the left grieving and wondering. It's deeply hurt someone I love dearly and his family: children, parents, spouse. Please help me tell him something good is happening here- watch and share, easy. He is young. He needs hope. also posted a list of warning signs above . . Feel free to clip and paste. Thanks for your time. http://lm.facebook.com/ |
