Suicide: Did it have to end this way?
By Christine Anne Piesyk | March 17, 2009 | 
“Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.”
Suicide. Self-inflicted death. The pain that drives an individual to commit suicide is mirrored by the pain experienced by those left behind to mourn.
In the past year, suicide has touched a number of families and individuals in our community. Two newly married men. A high school boy. A college student. A friend.

With the help of grassroots supporters, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America Action fund is running this ad to break through the clutter. If you’re interested in getting involved, whether you’re a veteran or a concerned civilian visit their web site.
As a recent report from the Government Accountability Office reveals, seven months have passed since the Walter Reed crisis and serious problems in veterans’ care remain.
As of October 1, the veterans’ budget is late. Until it is approved, the VA will be forced to ration care.
Now, it’s up to the President and Congress to approve the budget. Add your name to the statement, and demand they take action.
