I salute Certified Towing for their theme truck that raises awarness on the topic of suicide. Our family too has been affected by a loss due to suicide. Great article bye the way in American Towman's, September issue, written by Brian Riker. The effects of suicide are real.      R.

Everyone should be watching those they live and work with for the sign of depression. The change of seasons can make this much worse and you could be their life line. Don't know what to say, just talk. They'll tell you they are fine, but they often are not and it's a face they put on. They are really hurting inside... I don't like to talk about it but I lost an employee to suicide. Sadly he took his life in the rear of our stock room one day. Didn't leave a note, we didn't notice the signs until we reflected and the last couple of weeks. He was working long hours and his wife said he wasn't sleeping when he did come home. He thought he might be drinking again but there weren't any clues of alcohol and he never did drugs. We think it might have been PTSD as he had served in the military when he was much younger. His wife said his mom and close relatives said he just wasn't the same after he was honorably discharged.

 

Have you known or do you currently know someone like this who might be suffering. Pick Up The Phone and Call Them! Even if you don't think they are at risk. It was too quiet and not much going on. We always think about, If only one of us in the office had stepped out in the shop that day!
