“Brian Turner writes as only a soldier can, of terror and compassion, hurt and horror, sympathy and desire. He takes us into the truth and trauma of the Iraq war in language that is precise, delicate and beautiful, even as it tells of a suicide bomber, a skull shattered by a bullet, a blade in a bloodgroove.” WritingWarBeautifulDesireLanguageHurtCompassionHorrorSuicideSoldierIraqTerrorTraumaDelicateBulletsPreciseBladesSkullsShatteredIraq WarBrianBombersTurnerSuicide Bombers Author:Andrew Himes

“Because we do not understand all the circumstances surrounding someone's suicide, the level of the person's accountability, and the penalty that the Lord, in his infinite love and wisdom, may see fit to inflict upon the person, we must avoid judgment. Regardless of those circumstances and the Lord's divinely imposed punishment, followers of Christ are to be loving and compassionate to those who are hurt by the act of suicide.” MayPersonsChristHurtLevelsLordFitCircumstancesJudgmentInfiniteSuicidePunishmentAccountabilityFollowersCompassionatePenaltiesInfinite LoveLove And Wisdom Author:Brent L.

“People who go into the arts are often hurt people. Many are manic-depressive. Some have tried suicide and some have succeeded. It's just part of the game. We are people who are oversensitive.

“I would you say 25-50 percent is the likelihood that my cause of death will be suicide. Not because I am depressive but because I don't attach any moral baggage to suicide, and I have no religion to hold me back. I think suicide is our right, though I think we need to exercise it with knowledge that it can hurt others. So my assumption is that if I got a fatal disease, I'd end things before I got really sick.” ThinkingHurtMoralExerciseSickSuicideAssumptionHold MeDepressive Author:Gene Weingarten
