  10. Bad wreck HWY 61 North

    in Paulding County NEWS

    On my way home, I came upon an accident on Dabbs Bridge a few hours ago. A small car had hydroplaned and ended up in a flooded ditch. The passenger side of the car was submerged in water. GSP and PC Sheriff 's dept were there. It could have been a lot worse for that driver. I hope they are okay, too.

    As much as I understand your post... I must disagree. When one of my family members made the decision to take his life, we had a grief counselor come talk to us. One of the things he said that helped us all... When a person gets to the point of such dispair, their true self has long since gone. My FIL took his life and I have to really think this is the case. He was not someone that you would ever imagine being in this situation. :wub:

     

    Not disagreeing. I was stating how others can perceive it. Sadly, it is not always true that their true self is gone, some people have these issues all along. But, even if someone is at the end of their rope, it will always be hard to comprehend how this could turn into harming others. No matter how well you understand the emotions behind it, and the mental state, that will be a difficult pill for anyone to swallow. And I think that is where a lot of people are coming from.

     

    Desperation comes in all kinds of forms. And a lot of people are feeling right now. Many Americans are struggling and there is nothing they can do to change it. Once someone sees no other options, they can turn to self harm as a solution. It is never a valid solution, and causes much more problems than it ever solves. But making the leap from self harm to harming others is a giant one, and that issue alone changes the dynamics of how it is accepted.

     

    And if it is an insurance thing, suicide by cop is still deemed suicide. Won't change the outcome. If an insurance company does not pay for suicide, they can refuse payment for this. This can only cause even more problems for the family left behind. Sad situation all the way around.

    As much as I feel for someone who reaches that level of despair, it is hard to justify taking, or attempting to take, the lives of others. Why share your problems with the rest of the world. I think that is where a lot of people are coming from when they do not consider him a victim. A victim implies he had no control over the situation. He did. And that is a sad choice he made.

     

    I will keep his family and friends in my thoughts and prayers, as I will the officers and rescue personnel involved. One person's actions harmed many people yesterday, and I don't think that was even his intent.

  24. My beautiful sister

    in May they rest in Peace

    Life is about laughter and tears. If you can remember your sister with a laugh, then you are giving her a beautiful gift. The tears are there, but she would never want you to focus on those. She would want you to laugh at the memories and remember all the wonderful moments in her life. Remember the times she totally ticked you off, remember the times she screwed up royally, remember the times she cried, remember the times she stood by you, but mostly, remember those moments where she made you smile.
