Sending out Loving Thoughts for Healing and Helping In Our Areas, States and Beyond

Unbelievably but sadly true, someone passed at the Falls in Falls Village Ct and Salisbury CT during a recreational time due to slipping just before he was checking out a jump site. While the body of this man was recovered on Wednesday, July 31st, 2019 the name was incorrectly given by police to the press. I will refrain from conveying it until I feel certain everything is accurate. That is another important reminder to have a few people checking key details since people can have similar names and be from similar places.
 
The warm July 30th, 2019 Tuesday evening around 7 pm, the man was with a group of friends, including a few young men who had been jumping into the water at the base of the falls. Likely he was assessing the rocks and such below before jumping by leaning over. Then when standing up he apparently lost his balance or footing and fell backwards, hitting his head, according to someone closer to the situation.
 
In a completely separate situation, a recent posting on Facebook showed an elderly man climbing a high tree above a pool of natural water. He then proceeded to jump from the high branch to the surprise of the onlookers below, but getting down would have been precarious from his high spot.
 
Hopefully with too many risk factors involving rocks, branches, height, and water, more people could encourage one another to find less dangerous ways of enjoying a day or showing patriotism as in the case of the older, heavier man he waved a flag after climbing woefully high above the water...and then jumped and thankfully landed safely enough in water about 80 feet below from what I could see.
 
Another young man at the place where the elderly man was (maybe even another country I realize) who has done plenty of dangerous stunts then 'followed suit' with a run and a back flip...which of course makes me feel it may be beyond a basic serious conversation or two. That person knows of the loss of our son and has lost others close to him in reckless ways. Still it could be worth trying to 'make sense of what we can talk through seriously with people and what may not be reasonable.'
 
There's a lot to consider when coaching one another to be accountable team players, respect the position of parents, caring friends and community members and get a better understanding about mental health. Some people can feel despair (even suicidal thoughts) one day to the next or out of the blue, whereas generally there are many 'warning signs' and symptoms. Often people feel trapped between the freedoms people have and the laws or practices that could reel someone in.
 
The situation with the man passing in Falls Village and Salisbury (which the Housatonic River runs through) seems more of an occassional recreational 'safe time' but the overall setting, jumping from up high likely was the main risk factor people overlooked. Falling in general can be a bigger problem, usually for elderly but sometimes for active people in sports or slipping on ice or thereabouts.
 
There is no preventing every kind of problem and some theories assert there may be a time and way that relates to a greater part of our lives (or a spiritual part) so it may not make much sense or be easy to accept on human terms. Yet the overall idea of improving life for the greater good is what guides our policies and our inner sense of care and success. I think this difficult turn of events will wake many people up in different walks of life.
 
The reality is sometimes we may need to brave our limits and fears (whether linked to social or work, care or travel or the more physically daunting ventures.)
 
But ideally we can learn a lot at amusement parks (not forcing anyone on a roller coaster here but we do have a lot of ways to help youth and others have a few thrills and play with gravity and their own strength and skill.) NYC is promoting having another 160 miles of bike lanes and hoping to encourage motorists to be more careful...but that's a numbers game as the city is booming with more people and a construction upgrade many stories in numerous parts of the city...not the low income folks who need it and deserve safe living quarters necessarily.
 
The subways need lots of improvement as well, so those with extra talent, energy and skill could pursue many kinds of challenges and learn to rethink what they feel counts as fun or worthy of risking their own lives or the lives of others. There may be 'reasons beyond our understanding' for why things happen the way they do.
 
Some ideas include that we are spiritual beings who come into our human mortal form for a 'certain amount of connections, learning and experiences, not necessarily earth years.' We hardly have time to consider these kinds of possibilities without mainstream media allowing for that over many years.
 
That said we are all close enough in the tri-corner MA/NY CT area to take time to reflect for a few days at least in a more reverent way about this turn of events and the passing of this man. Showing our concern and support should be something we are more versed in with social media and outreach and support efforts. I hope every state, area and town can create a basic committee to do some outreach for anyone facing 'end of life' issues.
 
I have trained as an End Of Life Doula (with Doulagivers who among others online offer some community and free trainings as well as ways to become certified, not that there is a requirement for that at this time.)
 
They EOLD movement is joining wtih the Hospice Movement to provide care and support to those with serious conditions or who are nearing their earthly parting.
 
Support is also offered in ongoing ways for those family, friends and others involved who would like to network as well as for communities in general to provide ways to discuss these topics and others related (or in my case with my blog livfully.org even those not directly related.)
