Candlelight Vigils Held in Leeds and Hilo to Honor Lives Lost

community support - domestic violence - memorial - suicide - vigil

🕯️ Candlelight vigils in Leeds and Hilo honor those lost to suicide and domestic violence 🌟 #communitysupport #awareness

I Leeds blev der afholdt en stemningsfuld lysceremoni til minde om de studerende, der mistede livet til selvmord. Begivenheden blev ledet af Bob Abrahart, hvis datter Natasha tog sit eget liv i 2018. I Hilo samledes overlevende af vold i hjemmet til en mindehøjtidelighed, arrangeret af Going Home Hawaii. Stedet var græsplænen ved Ross butikken, hvor deltagerne samledes fra kl. 16-18. To forskellige byer, to forskellige formål, men begge med et fælles mål om at ære de, der er gået bort.

Det at samles i fællesskab for at mindes tab til selvmord og vold i hjemmet er afgørende for at skabe opmærksomhed og støtte i lokalsamfundet. Vigtigheden af sådanne begivenheder ligger i at bryde tabuer og skabe åbenhed omkring disse alvorlige emner. Bob Abrahart's engagement i Leeds og Going Home Hawaii's arbejde i Hilo viser det stærke fællesskab og den støtte, der kan opnås gennem enkeltpersoners handlinger. Lad os sammen ære og huske dem, der er gået bort. 🌟
