Today . . .a flurry of emails and calls and texts . . . three beautiful young college women in my living room by late afternoon, seeking help in creating an impromptu memorial service . . . their high school friend dead by suicide less than a week ago . . . gathered in a park picnic pavilion . . . cold and dark and windy and pouring rain . . . the candles kept going out until they huddled closer and burned them together . . .
Oh no. Every death by suicide is way to many. My prayers for your young college women, and you.
