Remembering 911: An Editorial

Image
I wanted to share this editorial I found on the website of WHAS, our local TV station here in Louisville. 14 years ago, Americans learned they can't ignore the terror of extremists. Fourteen years ago, the United States suffered a shockingly successful surprise attack by a little known Islamic extremist group based 7,000 miles away in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Since then, a U.S. invasion chased al-Qaeda out of its haven, and targeted strikes eventually eliminated most of its senior leaders, including Osama bin Laden in 2011. The danger from the group that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, has waned. Its influence lives on, however, through offshoot extremist groups that have eclipsed al-Qaeda — none more so than the Islamic State, the lightning spread of which through Syria and Iraq has been marked by medieval barbarity, adapted to the Internet age.

Suicide Awareness Part 3: YOU MATTER!

Thousands take their own life each and every day.   It saddens me that all those beautiful beings reached the point of no return, leaving this world thinking we would be better off without them.   If you are feeling suicidal please take a few minutes to allow my words to sink in... You are needed!  You are wanted!  You are loved!    Know (and believe) that this world is a better place because you are here.  There is so much good you can do.  And will do.   And me and others know that you're not weak.  You're just tired, you're just hurting.    Please listen to the song I've shared here.  I know it's kinda cheesy.  But it's how I and others who care about you feel deep down.  This song is for you!  Know that this is about YOU!   How wonderful life is...now you're in the world! Please, Click on the link below and just look over the material.  Reac...

Suicide Awareness Part 2: What You Can Do To Help

Image
If you know of someone who is contemplating suicide, if you even suspect they are, there is something you can do.  o Ask directly if your friend is thinking about suicide. o Be willing to listen . Allow their expressions of feelings, and accept those feelings. o Be non-judgmental. Don't debate whether suicide is right or wrong, or whether feelings are good or bad. Don't lecture on the value of life. Focus on being present with their feelings. o Get involved. Become available. Show interest and support. o Check in with your friend regularly. Schedule times to talk for the next week when you will both be available, to see how they are doing. o Don't act shocked. This will put distance between you. Be patient with yourself and the situation o Don't be sworn to secrecy. Seek support. o Offer hope that alternatives are available but do not offer glib reassurance. o Take action. Remove means, such as guns or stockpiled pills o Get help fro...

Suicide Awareness Part 1

Image
Death.  No matter what shape or form it takes it triggers intense emotions.  Even if we barely knew the person or never met the person we each feel something when we are told of their passing.    And the deep pain of sorrow we feel when an animal passes, be it our pets or an animal in the wild,  is something we all share. With some it's a deep sense of loss.  With others it is a wake up call.    Bottom line, with each passing, be it human or a beloved pet, Death reminds us how precious and how very short our time on this earth really is.  It touches us down to the very depths of our inner core.  Consciously or unconsciously. Many often wonder if there was more that could have been done to prevent the death of another.  Especially, and most in particularly, when it comes to suicide.    Sadly, suicide is still considered taboo.  It is a subject everyone knows about, but very rarely discusses o...
