Featured review
'After Jimmy".. the family was left
As a mother, grandmother, I sat enthralled, crying, cringing in my heart knowing Jimmy was going to kill himself. I grieved with Maggie, my God, Merdith did an outstanding performance. What bothered me most was Maggie kept the funeral private. Along that, she never nor did her husband seek any spiritual help from her pastor. Where were the families of that church? Yes, I got the gist of Maggie keeping it all within the family, denial, the seeking.... but here it showed a family who loved, who went to worship, yet the family in their grief never turned to God, or the church. Depression, mental illness lurks in every family, no matter the level, no matter the status quo. I may get a lot of flack for what I am about to say, but suicide is turning our backs on God. "The world" has it all packaged up in words that are easier to swallow. The raw truth is "doing oneself in" is the most selfish thing anyone can do to those who love that person. the misunderstanding of Jimmy, the fears, the torments which were really never spelled out seem to overtake that person's soul.
