Although many good things came out of 2019, there was also a massive rise in tragic events, and in particular, the rates of suicide.  In New Zealand, where I’m from, over the past year, suicide statistics have increased drastically. It appears people are feeling more helpless and alone in this world than ever.  In cases of suicide, families are left broken and grieving and so for many, the new year brings painful reminders of the previous year’s tragedies.
