Day of Mourning 2018

“In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“To be, or not to be: that is the question: 
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; 
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end 
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks 
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation 
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; 
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.” 
​
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

In British Columbia, we lost 14 First Responders to Suicide in 2017. 

In 2018, we've lost already three . . .

That's 17 brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, husbands, wives, fathers, sons, daughters, grand-parents . . . 

The Trauma Recovery Blog honours all . . .

These are workplace deaths . . .

Every One . . . . .

I mourn this day with family and peers.
