(WSCR) New Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall wrote a piece for the Chicago Sun-Times detailing his reaction to the suicide of former NFL great Junior Seau.
Wow! Wait? What? Junior Seau was shot? How? Why? They’re saying suicide?’’
Question after question went through my head after I heard the tragic news Wednesday.
Immediately, my heart began to hurt. What I felt was a deep pain, a deep compassion for this situation beyond Junior, his kids, his family, his teammates and his friends.
There are many people out there who are suffering and have nowhere to turn for help or are afraid because of the stigmas placed on mental health.
As I began to meditate more on Junior’s death, I began to think about this vicious cycle our world is in. The word ‘‘validate’’ started to run through my mind.
