The community of Parkland, Fla., is reeling from the news this weekend that two young people took their own lives. On Friday, 19-year-old Sydney Aiello was buried, five days after she killed herself. Aiello was a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last year at the time of the mass shooting. A day later, on Saturday, another student took his life. He was a current student, a sophomore whom authorities haven't identified.

Tragically, we seem to have a break in the levee of mutual support for each other.
It is going to take an intervention from the community, or suicides will continue to proliferate.
Depression and residuals from a terrible event take time to really break a person. As your touchstones grow distant and the original constant support and sympathy lapses into the daily grind of trying to get through life.
I understand, because I have been to that place.
I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child. I can totally see how that would lead you to drastic measures.
