Suicide
Suicide. Not a fun topic. It’s not something people like to talk about. What people do not realize is that it is a very serious problem today and it needs to be brought into the light. “What better way to end the pain than end your life?” is a very common thought. You’d be very surprised by the number of people who want to take their lives daily. You also may not be aware that one of those people could be someone very well close to you.

Thoughts on Divorce
When you get engaged, all you hear about are the exciting things that come from it. You get to anticipate falling asleep and waking up in your best friend’s arms every morning. You get to look forward to the romantic late nights and long days of getting to be by their side anytime you want. You think about the adventures and countless movies and bags of popcorn you’ll go through. Yes, these are all great… but what about the nights you have to hold her, sobbing, because she’s had a horrible day? What about the day he gets laid off and you have to convince him it’s all going to be okay? What about when someone close passes and she goes through a horrible bout of depression? What about when he gets told he has a heart disease and needs to change his diet and take medicines for the rest of his life? You never hear about any of the possible terrible fights. Or the tragedies of accidents and deaths. You don’t think about the days when things aren’t going to go as planned and your worlds fall apart. But THEY HAPPEN whether we think about it beforehand or not.
