-- Quote of the Day -- “ Children are bombarded by movies and television about the terrible stresses on the world. They hear that the polar bears are disappearing or the ice shelf is melting… and there is a lot of fear around sustainability.

-- Quote of the Day -- “The impact of suicide is that people are haunted by the question of Why. Even though you can say there is a big connection to mental illness, addictions, depression and hopelessness leading to suicide. Still survivors are left wondering “what if…” There are a whole host of questions that can preoccupy the survivors. In the case of adults, usually the intense anguish gets better after a 2 year period. However there can be physical symptoms, where you can have trouble sleeping or concentrating, a feeling numb, a sense of wondering about the meaning of your own life - and it is so incredibly important to be gentle with yourself and to reach out for help from others. …Often when you say someone committed suicide, people will migrate to how or why it happened – but what can be very helpful is to ask the grieving individual to tell you about the person and have them come alive across time and not have the event being the definition of who that person was. …We all have...
