127. Skidmore, you've been through two lifetimes' worth of family tragedy.
Yes, I'm weeping for you and your family. I weep for all the people who show up at emergency rooms across this country who are suicidal, despondent and turned away. I suppose I must sound like a heartless bitch to say this to you right now, but I think a good way of channeling some of your grief and anger is to join a group that is fighting for better health care in this country and keeping tabs on politicians who get into office by promising to change the health care system. My state has a group called "NH for Healthcare". I'm sure your state has something similar.

Skidmore, I'd rather see you get mad instead of brokenhearted. Maybe, given time, you will be. For right now, we'll all cry for those who've been turned away and marginalized.
