Veteran Suicide

11.24.2018 by JDMackenroth //

Did you know that 23 veterans will commit suicide everyday? What are we doing wrong?  We need to show those who have served our country how much they still mean to us! Chris Kyle gave his life serving veterans and it just goes to show how much they need our help. Most of our homeless are veterans, and are strung out on drugs. Here are a few different ways to help veterans keep their mind off of suicide.

They sacrificed their lives for us! We need to return the favor by taking take of them

Ideas to Help

1. Check in with them daily: Many people need to feel like they are needed in life and need that daily social interaction whether they think so or not. It’s easier said than done, but if it ends up saving their life, it will be worth it. 

No matter the battle, no veteran, should have to go it alone!

2. Invite them to church: Don’t take it personal if they decline, but just an invitation is enough to show you care and are invested in them. Be sincere about the invitation though, as veterans are smart, and can tell fake people from sincere people who truly are interested. 

 

3. Ask them about how they are feeling: Really ask them and listen. Sometimes they will just need to vent. Get ready for some salty language from some of them though, but don’t hold it against them. Over time, it may soften, but if not, who cares, they are still alive for you to enjoy them and for them to enjoy life most importantly. Don’t try to fix them, we are all messed up. 

4. Invite them to serve in a ministry or volunteer with you at a shelter: It will renew their sense of purpose and help give them something to look forward to. 

5. Take them out to dinner: it will show them they have friends and people care about them. It may take a few times asking, but don’t give up.

6. Help them get a service dog: a service dog will give them some responsibility and will give them help in return. It will be their best friend in their most dire times of need and will be with them at all times. When their symptoms flare up, the dog will know how to react in a way to calm them down.

A dog is mans best friend. A trained service dog senses PTSD symptoms and reacts to keep the veteran calm.

“It is our duty to serve those who have already served”- Chris Kyle 1974-2013

Rochelle Martin is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Shayne Rivers.
"Dear friends
The last few days have been heartbreaking for my family. Jason, my husband of 20 years, my friend, and the father of my children, passed away unexpectedly Friday morning. He was a selfless server to his family, friends, and the community around him. He was a veteran of the Marines, a 4H leader, a baseball coach, and an explorer.
We have been surrounded by family and friends and appreciated the loving support. We are all deeply grieving the loss of such an amazing father, husband, and friend. There is so much more to say but at this time words fail to express the loss and sorrow."
-Shayne Rivers

This account has been created to help Shayne with any financial hardships after the passing of her husband, Jason. The money given through this account will go directly towards the well being of their children. Thank you so much for your love and support! ALSO, please leave comments for the family: Share memories & stories. Together we can bear this heartache.
With Love & Prayers,
Shelly Martin
