Trigger Warning: Sensitive material When I was on an island in Georgian Bay, Canada on vacation this month, I heard the news of the death of Robin Williams. What a talent. What a man. What a gift of funny. What I find comforting in talking to those who have crossed over about suicide is that they tell me it’s not about judging the act. Suicide is merely a chosen exit point. If our work is done … [Read more...]
Family Matters
