You got me thinking as I was reading your well-expressed piece, about perceptions and how they shape us and our views. I say that because I heard someone on the radio recently declare that 'everybody knows there's a fertility crisis' - an odd statement, given the world's population is exploding beyond all control. But the point is, this person believed it, and it was causing them anguish. In this case, you got me looking up suicide rates, and I noticed that, since 2000, they have increased by about 28% in the USA, but dropped significantly globally. Here in the UK, they've stayed about the same.
I love that your solution is for people to get involved - ultimately, that's the only way we can make anything happen.
Many thanks for making me thing with your excellent piece.
Mike

Thanks Mike for your thoughtful review.
Comment from Theodore McDowell
There are some nice phrases in this letter. "I'm concerned about the walls I placed around my heart." " To hold that sweet little boy and laugh with my best friend again was the most healing sensation of my life." "
How can we heal what has been broken? Where do we begin to make lasting change? I want to get involved, be part of the solution, part of the change, but I'm not sure where to start beyond healing my own heart. Please help us. I fear we cannot overcome this on our own."
