when a loved one takes his own life
I’ve been reading Christine Scheller’s blog lately. Her son took his own life a little while back. I don’t know how to respond, because it’s been devastating for the family, and it’s painful to just read and connect. But my thoughts and prayers are with Christine and the whole family and friendship network and will continue to be with them. They are walking through the valley of the shadow of death right now. At the same time I’ve been learning a lot from Christine’s insights about people, life’s difficulties, depression, inner pain, and many other important things.

Rudy,
Thank you for the link. I’ve enjoyed reading Urban Onramps, and have rejoiced with you on the birth of your baby and the good reports about Sam. May he continue to grow to be strong and healthy in every way!
I first heard of your work from Arlene Sanchez-Walsh when I was working on a story for CT. Sometime I’ll get up to see for myself. Gabe would have loved it.
Today is a better day than yesterday, so people must be praying. Thanks so much ~
