"The Stunning Horror"

Relevant Notes

At and Since the

September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks

    comprehensive, cross-reference,links,portraits


    This page was begun at 9-11-2001.
    Lifelong Arts and response-type work, the time had come,
    and "no more onsite work", just donate some of the art for benefit
    to those behind me, in the good work...
    On that day, like many, I existed to
    exhort, in my heart and soul, the stricken and their rescuers!

    Years later, the notes here still make a
    very true personal statement of history that week.

    I am very proud of my country!
    No one wants a fight,
    but when we must fight we must win!

    Today's military conflicts are complex, and how do we judge success?

    It is important that we be United Americans,fighting futility and foes as one !

    They Worked the Pile


    Notes on the aftermath, especially concerning health issues, for the first responders and crews at Ground Zero, on and after Nineleven.

    A work-in-progress...It is some years later, and the victims of September Eleven's attacks have grown to include more deaths, to those who worked on site, to rescue and clear and stabilize the area.

    Literally thousands of toxins were released that day, and many of them carcinogenic.
    These workers not only face loss of health, but difficulties obtaining fair benefits from their employers for their afflictions and in some cases, deaths.

    I am searching stories, to find ones that might serve best here. But for now, this note may spark your own searches and I welcome your comments and sugestions..... elle



    For all of us, especially the bereaved:

      Thumbnail Affirmations
      fast and easy 'first-response' helpers. They work.

    • Hang in! It Gets Better!

    • Get Good Help...for you and yours...your situation is special. Respect that.

    • Respect a special need for basic good care ...healthy food, lite exercise, extra rest...people are amazing...healing happens promptly and well,and better when you allow yourself to cherish yourself a little bit !

    • Don't be afraid of your own "crazies", they are typical, normal, and usually pass quickly... if they last or exceed the law, definitely tell your doctor...respect it !

    • Its OK to laugh and play and hug more...whatever is normal for you right now will make it better for all!
    • Don't be afraid of intelligent changes that help...It does get better, love restores itself, and, after "walking in the shadows" of acute sudden grief, the psyche often heals as dramatically, and the sun comes up very specially one morning!

    • Support our President and all who are fighting at this moment, in boardrooms and battlefields for our Freedom and Justice, Resolution and Redemption !
