Almost every day with increasing recurrence, we see numerous situations in the news where individuals’ lives suddenly come to a violent crossroad or end. The statistics are very real but so are the faces of lives involved. As noted in a Guardian Newspaper article by Radhica Sookraj, published on August 24th 2010, it was reported that a 28 year old man hung himself because he was unable to make his car payments. Too simple to be true! As the writer dug deeper, she revealed the reason for this young man’s low threshold for challenges - at age 14; his father chopped his mother to death before committing suicide in his presence. Although he survived, he never received the emotional support that is necessary after such an ordeal, and as such, he was unprepared to live life.
