Help Spread the Message and raise awareness for Suicide prevention and The Broken Child Welfare/Protection System

  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08FNMPGG6 Help Spread the Message and raise awareness for Suicide prevention and The Broken Child Welfare/Protection System. To quote Victoria Chapman, from  https://www.facebook.com/AweVibes/ , "Black Diamond, Bubba’s story is a real life depiction of the unfortunate realities of what happens when a family requires support and ends up in a broken system. It highlights Jordan's  personal journey through mental health and addictions, and the long term impact and effect that falling through the cracks of the social service system, can have on someone’s life. Jordan committed suicide Christmas morning 2019. We must do better FOR our people as a humanity! A reformation of the social service system, is required immediately to work with and for our people that require support the most! #MissV I’m so proud of you for writing Jordan’s story and being a voice for those dismissed by the system Dann Shake Verner " https://www.facebook.com/AweVibes/ Althou...

NOW YOU KNOW

Stress is killing me. Literally. Those who know me understand why I say this. Medically, since November 11th, 2016,  I have battled through nine kidney surgical procedures. Including one that became infected and resulted with damaging my heart. My first Laparoscopic Surgery My heart has been iffy since an electrical accident in 1989, whereas I suffered electrocution resulting in a major heart attack. For eighteen months I suffered with pericarditis. Then came 1999. The most tragic year of my life. During the month of February I noticed that with every step I took I felt a “shock” up my spine. On March the fourth it became so severe I attended the emergency department at my local hospital. March the fifth I was in surgery having my C2, C3, c5 and C6 dissected.  They used bone from my hip and Titanium Semple plates to re-build my neck. I was five foot nine before the surgery and five foot seven after. I passed away during the operation. After a forty ...

Heavy Weighs The Hopeless Heart - I Need a Miracle

The weight that spans my shoulders weighs heavy upon my heart. In a series of almost comedic events my life went from that of hope, peacefulness and routines,  to one of chaos,  hopelessness and fear. I could have avoided all of this if only my building management had informed me immediately of the non-payment of my rent. By their delaying me notice until late September,  I had then accumulated August,September and October's payment all at once. An impossibility considering my income.  And now I am mere days away from losing all my material possessions and the psychological trauma of being homeless with a thirteen year old son.   I have tried all the various resources to no avail.  I am a victim of that social services hole between disability and pension.  Too young to be old and too old to be young. Soon I must face the surgeon's scalpel.  Not once, but at the least twice.  A kidney removal and gall bladder.  I am not ...

I AM TIRED ........ SO VERY TIRED

I AM TIRED. ....VERY TIRED ​As I sit here fighting this demon at three o'clock in the morning,  I am totally ashamed and disgusted with myself for what I have done to my life and the affect it has upon my child. I cannot recall one minute of my past existence that can compare to the disaster which I now am living. I am lost. I am broken.  I am repairable and I know which path I should be walking on, but I cannot repair myself.  Deep down inside I am struggling with a very dark entity and I am riddled with guilt,  shame, weakness and dangerous emotions. I know I am mentally  stronger than most people.  I know that all things must pass I know I will never take the cowards way out of this sorrow.  I know that I am truly loved by many, many beautiful souls, for it is their love and friendship that fuels my fighter and  logical self. BUT ...... I must confess that I am weak -  I am so very tired.   I fear I have not the ps...

SUICIDE AND OTHER HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS

So, touchy subject, 'SUICIDE' - I do believe you all may have heard of this quirky little characteristic you humans have. This evening, after a few accidental shots of good old old Wray & Nephew combined with the cancer meds, my lust for kush weed and the newly acquired pneumonia meds. (Yes folks on top of everything else I now have pneumonia - I had a different one in the sixties behind the high school - she spelt her name"Knew Moanforya - just saying) Ok, come on here - damn - suicide is a serious thing!!!!!! ' I know this as fact - I actually did kill myself before and was brought back by two burly EMS angels and a divine misconception or maybe intervention.'    You can read briefly about it in my previously published : "I COMMITTED SUICIDE ONCE" http://dannverner.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-committed-suicide-once.html?spref=bl Now, what brought me to sit and dance on these keys this fine evening was a...

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY

One has to wonder where this world is heading. Where does this expressway take us to? Society is riding an autobahn - no set speed limit in this lane. Everyone is rushing to be the first one at the red light of life. Family life is a pool of stress and rushed days. Work life is one hundred hours of task in a forty hour jar. Education has accelerated to the point that children are learning in grade six what they cannot understand till they attend grade ten. Living the fast life will only slow us down I watch, I listen, I see. But, I do not understand. Why is it so important for worldwide media outlets to let us know when two celebrities are getting married or divorced? No one reported worldwide when I divorced my first wife. Is there not tragedy and nicer things right here at home to speak of? Why is it that being famous can be as easy as having a huge behind? Or being in rehab? I do not know - nor do I believe I ever shall. What I do know and understand is...
