It came from nowhere.I can\u2019t be sure if I came across it because some divine presence wanted me to learn something. But it affected me.There is no call to action, no advice, nothing that you need to do, no judgment regarding what you should want to do\u2026All I offer is an invitation to consider life:\u00a0Brian\u2019s life and your own.That\u2019s all. Simple and difficult.Brian ELDRIDGE Obituary\u201cMay 1947 - July 2023 Brian was a quiet shy boy and man. He was bullied as a child and teenager because of his shyness and vulnerability. As an adult he didn't fit in. He never learned to use a computer or a cell phone, which kept him from applying for most jobs. He worked and supported himself through paper routes, aluminum can recycling and janitorial work. He was exploited by employers. His last job, was cleaning a bingo hall at midnight for $10 per hour 7 nights a week 364 days a year with just less than the minimum weekly hours to have any rights or benefits. His employer fired him on Christmas Eve with no notice. He had worked there for over 15 years. He had no friends or family who kept up with him. He was quiet, smart, generous and lonely. When found in his apartment he had been dead at least 4 days. I'll miss him\u201d.\u201cThe only invitation I offer is to consider life\u201d\u2014 Karen Goldfinger BakerThanks for tuning into this week\u2019s episode of Trauma Hiders Club \u2018The Podcast\u2019 with Karen Goldfinger Baker.
