Drumore Echoes, Stories from Upstream

If Abner Musser hadn't run out of sons, his neighbors say, The Buck would have been as big as Pittsburgh in another 10 years. This area in Southern Lancaster County reminds me more and more of the region just east of Lancaster. I suppose the words that condense this thought could be: Bird-In-Hand gained, Paradise lost. Quote from Robert Risk: "Death does not end all-it begins everything." If Ma Garner heard a ruckus outside her house at night she raised her bedroom window, shot once, then opened fire with an arsenal of words that may have stung worse than the shotgun pellets. The resourceful human mind has developed to strive for the betterment of mankind, yet the human spirit has evidently never abandoned the cave. At Woodstock there were numerous drug busts, at our gathering all drugs were handed out before the meal.

The Unique Grief of Suicide: Questions and Hope

Praise for The Unique Grief of Suicide: Questions and Hope “A gem of a book. Tom Smith is one of those unique human beings who, through a labor of love and generosity, is able to turn a personal tragedy into an opportunity to reach out and help many others. His work combines scientific data and personal feelings admirably.” —Luis A. Giuffra, MD, PhD; professor of clinical psychiatry, Washington University School of Medicine “Very painful questions arise following the death by suicide of a loved one. Tom Smith’s moving book identifies and organizes these questions—a very helpful thing in itself. But more, the book provides answers and also acknowledges that some questions do not have easy answers, reflecting accurately and sympathetically the experiences of those bereaved by suicide.” —Thomas Joiner, PhD, author of Why People Die by Suicide and the Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Florida State University With warmth and understanding, Tom Smith draws on his own grief following the suicide of his twenty-six-year-old daughter, Karla, and provides helpful resources and coping strategies to those grieving a suicide. Both practical and comforting, The Unique Grief of Suicide guides and educates those dealing with the different facets of suicide and offers a safe harbor within the storm of grief.

You might make an appointment with your physician to enquire about a persistent cough or a septic toe, but when do you get to ask the questions you really want answered? All those health mysteries—some trivial, some serious, some downright weird—are the ones that really matter, the niggling worries which keep you up at night. Will I age at the same rate as my mother? Could my birthmark be cancerous? Why do women start growing hair on their chins at 35? Is a man's hand size really a sign of the length of his penis? This is your chance to corner a doctor at a party and boldly go where no patient has gone before. Dr. Tom Smith, gently urbane and seemingly unshockable, answers questions with a wit and wisdom that sadly your own doctor just never seems to have time for.
