Two day's ago I was walking the kids to school. 910am. On the block of the school there is an ambulance holding up traffic. My little boy stops and asks the paramedic what happened (of course, he's quite the curious one). An "accident". I see two paramedics then put a person, covered in a blanket, into the back of the car. I saw her feet sticking out. Painted toenails, strappy green flip flops. As the mother and I are leaving the school she tells me that apparently this woman jumped from the 5th story just before we arrived. When the Paramedic found her she had a pulse. An attempted suicide.
Woah. Right there.
She says suicides around there have been increasingly frequent over the past decade. Possibly do to the economy crisis. The next day as we leave the school again she tells me that the woman ended up passing away.
This got me thinking....
