The Ability to Overcome

Trials are apart of life. They are always hounding us, always looming over our heads. Like one of those headaches that just won't go away. It's hard to not get knocked out of commission by these constant roadblocks. Ssome are lucky enough to see these comng and jump over them. Some roadblocks, however, sneak up on you or are just suddenly there. Death is a big one.
Death has been the one obstacle mankind cannot avoid, cure, or stop no matter how hard we try. However sometimes death is chosen, rather than it just happening. Suicide is a cincept few understand and even less can comprehend. Its ugly no matter the angle. It is not always forseen but it IS always painful. the most dreadful of which is losing a child to suicide. For a parent to have to bury their child is to bury part of their heart, their soul, their very existance. It is hands down the hardest thing a parent has to do. I don't mean for this first entry to be depressing, on the contrary, this will be a fun blog. But I want people to know this is out there. This is real. Talk with your children. If you need help, talk to someone. Don't let this problem become to end. Be aware.
