Shots fired on my campus today. Turning Point leader dead

[Kishkumen]

Thanks, Kish. Things are rough for me right now. About 20 months ago my mom had some health issues and came to live with my family. I’ve spent most of my time and energy since then helping her get physically and mentally well. This summer, she was doing so well that she moved into a wonderful assisted living facility about a mile from my home. She quickly made lots of friends and was really enjoying herself for the first time in a couple years. And then last week she just dropped dead while getting ready for bed. I’m still mostly numb and not very functional. My sibs and I are supporting each other, and I have solid support from friends and family. Kirk’s murder and the vicious backlash hit me especially hard. I’ll get through, but it’s all too much for me right now.

That is heartbreaking news, RI! I am terribly sorry. I am here for you if you need to talk. It is all a little much for me—the way the world is going—and I have not faced such a terrible loss of a family member. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dude, RI, I’m sorry to hear that, too. Losing your mom feels awful.

Res Ipsa,
Death of one's mother is hard. It will take some time to get your feet solid again. My prayer and good wish for you

Kirk's murder is tragic for our country leaving a dark cloud for us all at this time.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. I know what it's like to lose one's parents.

I miss your inputs to this forum a lot! I hope you will still check in from time to time!
