Koʻu Ala ponoʻī

Aia mākou a pau i ko mākou ala ponoʻi i ke ola. ʻO wai mākou i kēia lā kahi hōʻuluʻulu o kā mākou ʻike i hala e hana ai iā mākou. ʻAʻohe o mākou i like, akā hiki iā mākou āpau ke pili kekahi i kekahi ma o nā manaʻo like. Ke hoʻomālamalama nei mākou i ka pepehi kanaka i ka mahina ʻo Kepakemapa ma o ka Hoʻomālamu Hoʻomaopopo Kākoʻo a me ka Mahina Kāohi, e noʻonoʻo i kēia mau moʻolelo kaʻawale ʻekolu.

He kāne ʻo Tom * he 19 ona makahiki, extroverted, e hoʻokō ana i kāna moemoeā o ka hana ʻana i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa, a no kahi ʻoihana āna i makemake mau ai e hana. ʻO kāna moeuhane ia o ke ola. Maikaʻi ke ola. Nui kāna mau hoaaloha, a ʻo ia ke kanaka hauʻoli makemake ʻoe e ʻike. Hana hoaaloha ʻo ia ma nā wahi a pau āna e hele ai. Kaulana ʻia ʻo ia no kāna ʻano wikiwiki a me kāna ʻano leʻaleʻa.

I kēia manawa, e noʻonoʻo i kahi kāne he 60 mau makahiki, ʻo Wayne, * i kāna papa ʻelua o ke ola, ma hope o ka lawelawe ʻana i ko mākou ʻāina ma ke ʻano he United States Marine. Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ke kula, e hoʻokō ana i kāna moemoeā e kūkulu i kahi aʻo e pili ana i kāna ʻike i ka pūʻali koa, e pili ana i nā pilikia PTSD a me nā ʻano like o ka poʻe lawelawe i ko lākou hoʻi ʻana i ke ola "maʻamau".

A laila aia kahi wahine 14 makahiki, ʻo Emma. * Hou i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻoikaika ʻo ia e loaʻa kālā a mālama no kāna wā e hiki mai ana. Ma hope o ke kula, ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna hana home, hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he papergie, e lawe ana i nā nūpepa i nā hoanoho i loko o kahi radius he ʻelua mile o kona hale. He mau hoaaloha kāna, ʻoiai manaʻo ʻo ia ʻaʻole ia e ʻoluʻolu e like me kona kaikuaʻana haʻuki punahele, no laila ke hoʻolōʻihi nei ʻo ia i kahi manawa i ka ʻike moʻokalaleo e kū nei i nā puke kuʻuna.

Aia mākou a pau i ko mākou ala ponoʻi i ke ola. Ma ka ʻili, ʻaʻohe o kekahi o kēia mau poʻe i like. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā lākou āpau ke lilo i poʻe a mākou e ʻike ai. A no kekahi o mākou, ʻike mākou iā Tom, Wayne a me Emma. Ua hana wau a hana wau. ʻO ka mea āu e ʻike ʻole ai e hakakā ana ʻo Tom me kāna moekolohe a ke ʻike nei i kona wahi he ʻōpio i kēia ao. ʻO ka mea āu e lohe ʻole ai e pili ana iā Wayne, e ʻumeʻume nei me kāna pilikia PTSD ponoʻī. i kona makemake e kōkua i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i ke kōkua e pono maoli ai. A ʻo ka mea āu e ʻike ʻole ai, ʻo Emma, ​​e hūnā ana ma hope o ka maka o nā puke puke a me nā moeʻuhane loaʻa kālā e uhi iā ia e pono e launa pū me ka poʻe āna i manaʻo ai he ʻano luʻuluʻu a ʻano ʻole hoʻi.

No kēlā me kēia poʻe, hūnā ka waho i ka mea a lākou e manaʻo nei i loko. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia o kēia poʻe i ka manaʻo o ka piha a me ka manaʻo o ka manaʻolana ʻole. Ua hoʻoholo kēlā me kēia poʻe e lawe i nā mea i loko o kā lākou mau lima i ka mea a lākou i manaʻo ai he hoʻāʻo e hana i ka honua i kahi makemake. Ua hiki i kēlā me kēia poʻe i kahi i manaʻoʻiʻo maoli ai lākou e lilo kahi honua i wahi maikaʻi me ka ʻole o lākou. A hele kēlā me kēia o kēia poʻe me ka hana. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻekolu mau kānaka i hana i ka hana maoli a hope loa i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e pepehi kanaka. A ʻelua o lākou i hoʻopau i ka hana.

Wahi a ka American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, ʻo ka pepehi kanaka ke ʻumi kumu nui o ka make ma United States. I ka makahiki 2017, ua ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ʻelua mau manawa i ka nui o nā suicides (47,173) ʻoiai he mau pepehi kanaka (19,510) i ko mākou ʻāina. A ma Colorado, mai ka 2016, ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi o United Health Foundation ua ʻike kā mākou mokuʻāina i ka piʻi kiʻekiʻe loa, i kēlā me kēia makahiki. He pilikia olakino ākea kēia e hiki ʻole ke pale ʻia i hiki iā mākou āpau ke hana a pau. ʻO kekahi ala ma o ka ʻike a me ka destigmatization o nā pilikia olakino noʻonoʻo. E like me ke kōkua ʻana o nā kauka me ko mākou ola kino, hiki i nā poʻe hoʻoponopono ke kōkua me ko mākou olakino noʻonoʻo. He maikaʻi ke noi no ke kōkua. He maikaʻi ke nānā ʻana me nā hoaaloha a me ka ʻohana e hōʻoia i ka maikaʻi o ka poʻe a puni mākou. Mai manaʻo ʻoe ua maikaʻi kekahi, no ka mea ua maikaʻi lākou ma waho.

Ua komo ʻo Tom, Wayne a me Emma i kēlā me kēia kanaka i kahi helu kanaka ʻokoʻa, a ʻike paha kekahi i ka helu kiʻekiʻe o ka pepehi kanaka, ʻoiai ʻo nā pūʻulu kanaka āpau e ʻike i ka pepehi kanaka. Nā haumāna wahine, e like me Emma, ​​hoʻāʻo e hoʻomake i ʻelua mau manawa ma mua o nā kāne kāne. A me ka poʻe e like me Wayne, i ka 2017, ʻo ka helu o ka pepehi kanaka ʻōpio ma mua o 1.5 mau manawa ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka poʻe koa ʻole.

ʻAʻole ʻike ka honua a mākou e noho nei i kēia lā i kā Tom a me Wayne i hiki ai ke lawe piha iā ia. Eia nō naʻe, no ka poʻe i ʻike iā Tom lāua ʻo Wayne, he mea ʻole. A hiki i kēia ke ʻōlelo ʻia no kekahi mea i ʻike i ka mea a lākou i ʻike ai e pepehi ana i ke ola. Ua hala ka ʻohana a Tom i kāna zest no ke ola. Nui ka makemake o Tom i ka honua a puni iā ​​ia. Ke makemake ʻo ia e hana i kekahi mea, lele ʻo ia me nā wāwae ʻelua. ʻIke wau i kona ʻano hoʻomākeʻaka a me ka hoihoi no ke ola. ʻO wai ka mea e ʻike i kāna mea e hoʻokō ai inā ua hala ʻo ia i ka makahiki 19. ʻO nā ex-servicemen lehulehu loa i hiki iā Wayne ke kiʻi i kona lilo ʻana i kākāʻōlelo hōʻoia ua nalo mau loa ʻia. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke aʻo mai kā Wayne ʻike a me kona loea. Ua nalowale hoʻi kahi moʻopuna a Wayne a me kahi makua kāne aloha a aloha hoʻi. Noʻu, ʻike wau haʻo wau i kāna hoʻomākeʻaka e pili ana i ka loiloi grammatical o ka hoʻohana hewa ʻana o nā clichés a me nā idioms. Maikaʻi ʻo Wayne no kēlā.

ʻOiai ʻo Emma, ​​ʻaʻole ke ʻano o ke ʻano āna i wae ai e like me kāna i manaʻo ai. Ma hope o ka hana ʻana i nā pilikia a me nā mea āpau i alakaʻi iā ia e koho i kāna koho ʻana, he kanaka olakino maikaʻi ʻo ia i kēia manawa i ke kaiāulu. ʻIke ʻo ia i ka manawa e nānā ai i kāna mau manaʻo, i ka manawa e kū ai nona iho a i ka wā hea e noi ai i ke kōkua. ʻIke wau e maikaʻi ana ʻo Emma. ʻAʻole kēlā kaikamahine 14 mau makahiki i kēia lā. Loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻōnaehana kākoʻo maikaʻi ma kahi, ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha nāna e mālama iā ia, a me kahi hana paʻa e mālama iā ia me ka hana maikaʻi. ʻOiai mākou a pau i ko mākou ala ponoʻī, i kēia hihia, ʻo kaʻu ala ʻo Emma. ʻAe, ʻo wau ʻo Emma.

Inā ʻoe a i ʻole kekahi mea āu e ʻike nei e ʻike nei i nā manaʻo no ka pepehi kanaka, nui a nui nā ala e ʻimi ai i ke kōkua. Ma Colorado, kāhea aku iā Colorado Crisis Services ma 844-493-8255 a i ʻole leka uila TALK i ka 38255. Ua hoʻoholo iho nei ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i kahi bila e kuhikuhi ana iā 988 ma ke ʻano he helu āpau e kāhea inā ʻoe i loko o kahi pōpilikia a i ʻole pilikia olakino noʻonoʻo. Aia ka helu i ka pahuhopu e hoʻohana ʻia e ka waenakonu o 2022. A hiki i kēlā hanana, hiki i ke kaona āpau ke kāhea iā 800-273-8255. E hōʻoia me kou ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha a me nā mea a puni ʻoe. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ke ala o kekahi ma a me ka hopena e hiki iā ʻoe ke hana.

* Ua hoʻololi ʻia nā inoa e pale ai i ka pilikino o kēlā me kēia.
