Default So I can add one more dead body to my list.

Death in our EMT community isn't very common.. but I got to see my second dead body last night. It was an elderly suicide, which made me curious.. so I looked up some info last night.

One stat that was surprising to me was:

There is an average of one suicide among the elderly every 90 minutes.

So give your grandparents a call or a hug today

i work in a nursing home. it's hard to see some of these older people, especially when they don't have family, or don't recognize their family.

my grandmother passed away when i was 10yrs old.
my other grandfather passed away when my mom was 5-6yrs old.
my other grandmother is still alive and i visit her once a week at my parents house.
