You're right; there's such a stigma surrounding mental illness that I think it prevents people seeking help. I think we have to come around to seeing it as a *physical* illness. I believe mind & body are intricately linked. And the people who react badly need to be educated as well. Way to go, helping get the word out. Again, I am really really sorry for you & the family. I pray they find peace. Wow, I am so sorry!

I heard about it on local news. Such a tragic story. We should all be on the look out for someone who might just need to talk... these are turbulent times for us all. Much love...

It is always doubly sad when the innocent victim is a child. I am sorry that you were personally touched by this. Thank you for doing your part to get the word out about mental health issues.
