Veteran Suicide in Philly
I really hate reading about suicide, regardless of the situation, but to hear a Veteran decided to make a life-ending decision at the Veteran Affairs Hospital in Philadelphia on Thursday is heart breaking to me. I can relate, I had some dark times. It’s easy to say it gets better, but it doesn’t feel like that when you’re rock bottom. If anyone every wants to talk, I’m available to try to help. The Veteran Affairs has a crisis line.
