Domestic Violence Doesn’t End Here
by: Cassie Flanner
The
main reason I got involved in the domestic violence program was
because I saw numerous cases come through the funeral home and
coroner’s office where a death occurred from one of these acts of
violence. Through my research I found the victim’s family and
friends were not given resources or information on how to deal with
the death of a loved one from domestic violence. They are victims
too. I hope in moving to San Antonio I can work with organizations to
get information out to the people that are left behind.
The
shirt and I made a detour for a little self care. I always forget to
stop for a minute to relax and pamper, so I figured it was a good
time to do that. I found this place and I think it is the most
relaxing place I have ever been and they serve drinks!!
Next
was a stop off to Oprah…okay she and Obama are wax people, but it
is probably as close as I will ever get to them. In our last
intensive we talked about women that have made a difference. Oprah
has been an amazing leader for women across the world. Oprah has
continuously brought domestic violence issues to the forefront with
her television show and has been a strong supporter of ending
domestic violence. Obama is also a strong supporter in ending
domestic violence calling for zero tolerance. Continued awareness
will help to generate more support.
